The Online Railbird Report: Dwan Dominates 0001

The seven-figure swings just don't stop. Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies were back at it the past few days in the high-stakes cash games on Full Tilt, and this time, it was "durrrr" getting the best of the Fin. Dwan bested Sahamies en route to making back the $1.5 Million he had lost the previous few days by winning some monster hands.

The two were playing $500/$1,000 pot-limit Omaha and Samamies raised to $3,000 on the button. This was raised to $9,000 by Dwan in the big blind and Sahamies made the call leading to a 4J5 flop. Dwan checked and Sahamies bet $13,000, quickly getting called by Dwan. The 6 turn card brought more of the same with Dwan check-callling a pot-sized bet of $44,000. The river delivered the 8 and Dwan checked for a third time. Sahamies bet the $132,000 pot and Dwan put in just a little bit more to go all-in for $145,000. Sahamies called and mucked his hand when Dwan tabled 97610 for the nut straight, winning the $423,000 pot.

They were involved in several other big pots, deciding to run several of them twice. In one of them, Dwan raised to $3,000 on the button and Sahamies popped it to $9,000 in the big blind. Dwan four-bet to $27,000 and Sahamies made the call. The flop fell 76A and a raising war ensued. In the end, they got it in for a total of $454,000. Dwan tabled AA55 for top set and the nut-flush draw, while Sahamies showed 10454 for a straight draw and an inferior flush draw. After deciding to run it twice, the 9 turn and 6 river sent one half to Dwan, while the K turn and 7 river on the other half filled Dwan up again, sending the entire pot his way.

Dwan also took both ends of a $446,000 pot that they ran twice. This time, they got it all-in after a 93J flop. Although he only held one pair, Dwan's AKQJ was a favorite against Samamies' 10975. The first board completed with running queens making a full house for Dwan while the second brought a 3 turn and 5 river, giving Dwan jacks and threes to once again scoop the entire pot.
