Dwan Leads the Charge into the Final Day


Moving Day in Event #11 is in the books after ten busy levels of poker. This $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event drew a field of 2,563 runners, and just 297 of them returned today for Day 2. When the chip bags came out at 3:00 a.m., the big board showed 21 players have survived to see the final day dawn tomorrow.

It was a relatively smooth and uninteresting day of cards until Tom Dwan decided to come back from the 2-7 event on the far corner of the room and join us over here in the Red section. Dwan went to work quickly, punishing his table with his trademarked, ruthless style. The big turning point of the day came in a monstrous pot against Amnon Filippi when Dwan five-bet shoved his pocket tens into Filippi's two kings. A ten right on the flop gave Dwan the set and a massive chip lead, and he would not turn back from there. A few challengers came and went, but Dwan finished strong to bag up a chip leading stack of 1,068,000 million.

That puts him out in front of Marvin Rettenmaier and Scott Hamilton by about 100,000 chips, and all signs point to an exciting day of cards tomorrow. The dangerous Eric Ladny is still in the mix, and so is 2008 bracelet winner Jason Young, whose title came in a $1,500 NLHE event just like this one. Jacobo Fernandez, Alex Bolotin, and Antoine Amourette round out the list of notables who'll return on Sunday afternoon to play it out for the bracelet.

It figures to be a long day of poker as we have to play from 21 all the way down to just one. The twelve-hour rule is out the window, and the players will return at 2:30 p.m. for the fight to the finish. We'll be here too, and we hope you'll join us as we crown another champion here at the 2010 World Series of Poker.

Until then, goodnight from the Rio!

First is only 600k... That's like pennies for Dwan.

as awesome as durrr is, guy seems like a huge fucking weirdo

but i guess that might be the price to pay for poker brilliance

he has over $2mill in propbets for securing a bracelet i believe.

would be sick if he got it this early

Dwan still has about 10,000 chips in Event #14 right now too: http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2010-wsop/event-14/chips.htm

Hopefully he wins it, but pretty far to go.

i dont understand replies like this. 600k is 600k. Not to mention the millions in bracelet props he has out. Its like Phil Ivey says... "Even if you're going to play for a million dollars... if you see 10k on the street, you're gonna pick it up".

word up

He is playing both at the same time ?

multitabling

I don't get out of bed, or dare I say, bend over for less than 20k. I may ask the help to do it though. Now one of those fliers for the two hooker special for only $39 on the other hand.

I think he's just trying to double up or bust in #14, apparently he's running back and forth lol

What is his desktop setup ? or here, are the tables close ? I mean there are so many events, are there all in the same room ?

haha
so sick
take it durrrr

Dwan, who was also playing in the 2-7 event Saturday, built his chips in both events, running back and forth between the two. He told PokerNews early on Sunday that he was going to three-table that day. It would make more sense, however, for him to just focus on going after bracelet number one before trying to build a stack for number two.

lol?

im pretty sure dwan can figure out how to maximize his chances much better than whoever is reporting that

Dwan is so awesome. 3-tabling WSOP.

If it is his turn, while he is on another table, does the player call the clock ? do they wait a little for him ? Can someone familiar with multitabling in such tournament explain how he is doing it. Can he use a skateboard to go faster from a table to another ? :-)
I mean, I don't even know how it works for a table (never played live), so playing 2 or 3 tournaments at the same time...

i think they just fold it idk though

he is just sitting out at the table and his hand is autofolded if he isnt there

That's One Way to Put It


Andy Black just wandered over to the featured table where Tom Dwan was busy winning the first pot of the day.

"You got a lot of people sh***ing all over themselves today, Tom," Black half-shouted from the rail.

We understand that Dwan has a few, shall we say, significant bracelet bets this year, and he figures to win a lot more than just first-place money if he can manage to be the last man standing today.

is there a way to watch the final table?

Don't think so.

According to a sticky on 2p2 by Kevmath (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/37/televised-poker/2010-wsop-tv-sticky-798539/):

"Since the WSOP is now underway, several have asked what events are airing on TV, and will there be Internet streaming of final tables.

WSOP schedule on ESPN (schedule to change):

Starting July 20 is a one-hour show reviewing last year's WSOP and previewing the 2010 edition

July 27, 8-10pm $50,000 Players' Championship
August 3, 8-10pm WSOP Tournament of Champions
August 10-November 9, $10,000 Main Event

The early episodes of the Main Event should air from 8-10pm ET Tuesday nights, moving to 9-11pm after the regular season in baseball ends.

Internet Streaming:

ESPN3.com currently has the following final tables scheduled for 5:30pm ET:

June 26 - $2,500 Mixed Holdem
June 27 - $1,500 NL Holdem
June 30 - $1,500 NL Holdem

More updates as they become available."

11 left dwan still raping 1st in chips

Down to the final table now. Also:

"Does anyone in poker have any money left if durrrr wins that tournament? I know I don't!" Mike Matusow screamed as he stood up from his $10k Stud 8 table to get a better look at the Laker game. "And I'll admit it!" In an interview with our own Gloria Balding earlier in the week, Dwan was not specific on the amount wagered, but told us that should he ship his "bracelet bet," it would be his largest single-day win ever. "Hey, did anyone like lay 3-1 on how many times durrr would get it in as a 4-1 dog? The over won on that one!" Matusow added.

lol please ship it Dwan

1 Tom Dwan 2,260,000

this is actually pretty decent hand by hand coverage. I wish we could watch these events live on a stream though...

This is a little more up to date and has chip counts on the side: http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2010-wsop/event-11/
EDIT: ugh learn to read before posting mikeymoo =/

Wow, only 3 left (Dwan in 3rd tho).

gogo dwan

dwan looks dead

zombie dwan is even worse, his stare will have no end

I hope Dwan wins .

what happened to him 3 tabling? did he bust in the 2 other events?

It's HU now between Dwan and Wat..

Watt has like 8 mil to Dwan's 3.

He busted in the Event #14: $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball

Unbeatable hero if he ships this one

"After another two minutes or so, Watt announces an all in, and Dwan's ensuing eye roll was pretty epic. He stared up at the ceiling, pulled his cards into his hands, and quickly slid them into the muck with a big sigh."

Great update lol.

From the live report it seems like its over. Tough break for Dwan.

This must be so frustrating for dwan. FU Simon Twatt!

fail. 2nd.

Tom Dwan has the button.

Dwan shoves his remaining 1,645,000 in the middle and Simon Watt instantly calls.

Showdown
Dwan:
Watt:

Tom Dwan and the dealer are the only people sitting in the ESPN final table area as the flop falls .

The crowd explodes into a chorus of sounds, some calling for cards, others celebrating red/black side bets. Dwan remains seated, silent.

The turns and Dwan finally stands, contempt with his fate. He needs one of three queens in the deck and the room falls silent as the dealer wraps the table...

The very second the hits the river Dwan shakes Watt's hand and heads directly for the exit.

"I can pick up my stuff tomorrow, right?" he asks a tournament director as he scurries off.

The director nods yes and Dwan is out the door.

This is epic.

sick ;/

ace would've worked too

Should've hit that 4 outer

The reason he is and remains successfull is because he's constantly challenging himself to do new things. Not "omg im a multimillionire, life is over iima retire" This win probably meant more to Dwan then anyone else in the final table, hes just not gonna throw a fit like everyone else cause hes a pro

Indeed what Tom said. He knew alot of people didnt want him to win the bracelet so it would have been so much sweeter if he did win it. Imo it's gonna take alot of time to get to another final table. Even if your a great player, you got to get lucky from time to time in tourneys esp in the low buy ins. He was so close to shipping it just days after the bet, what would have been a great accomplishment, even if he is dwan.

If would jizz my pants if he ships the main event, but not gonna happen too soon i guess

Erik_Seidel
Durrr was a player away from winning the main event of the WSOP 5 months early #sidebets

His prop bet must be worth 8-9 million

http://taopoker.blogspot.com/
Not going to quote it here, this guy definitely deserves his views.
EDIT: A teaser:

$9 million... and from one person. Phil Ivey. Most likely Ivey bet $3 million on 3-1 odds.

Sick that Dwan (unethically obviously) could have offered multiples of the difference of first (618k) and second place (380k) to Twatt to have him take a dive. 200k to twatt was worth what 12M to Dwan?

tom is getting 3.25:1 on a bracelet this year and ive heard from fairly reliable sources that he stands to win 5mill if he does it.

He wouldnt want to do that. He obv wants to get a bracelet on his own.

Man i feel really bad for him actually lol

read on 2p2 that the winner is apparently siac0, some 100NL stars grinder

that 600k means more to Siac0 than the 5 million means to Dwan

money wise probably yes
ego wise no way

My post certainly wasn't to imply that dwan would do something unethical like that, if anything his loss is evidence to the contrary. The difference in stakes that they were playing for was amusing nonetheless.

wonder how many people almost had panic attacks that he was about to close this so fast

Man wonder what it feels like to have 10mil+ right in front of your sight and having to lose it after getting as close as you can possibly be..
