Dwan Flushed

Level 2 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

On a board reading {2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} Dwan tossed out a bet of 40,000. Alexander Kostritsyn raised to 125,000.

Dwan used his first 30 seconds to think about the action and as the clock was winding down, he tossed in his first extra time chip. He took the entire extra 30 seconds and then tossed out his second and final extra time chip. As the clock was winding down, he moved all in for a little more than the 125,000 bet.

Kostritsyn made the call and tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a set to Dwan's {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Dwan still had hope though, as he needed a diamond to make a flush or a ten for a bigger boat.

The dealer burned and turned the river, which happened to be the {a-Diamonds} and Dwan raked in the chips from Kostritsyn to keep his tournament alive.
