Even the Mighty Dwan Can Make a Mistake

This is going to be a long post.
We came to Tom Dwan's new table, White 7, to see no chips in front of his seat, but durrrr was still sitting in it, protesting that he should have gotten part of a pot that had already been pushed two seats to his right.
According to David Drozen, a player at the table, there was a three-way all in. The shortest stack showed a set of queens, but Dwan, with 
was in the lead for the much larger side pot with just a pair of fours against the other player's 
. Both Dwan and the other player had a wheel draw, which came in when a 5 hit the river. The other player also made a straight-six with that card to overtake the set of queens for the main pot high half and Dwan's wheel for the side pot high half. He and Dwan were supposed to quarter the low half of both pots.
Dwan, not realizing he was getting a quarter, then apparently killed his own hand, pushed all of his chips into the center of the table and stood up. As the pot was being pushed, he suddenly realized that he should have gotten one-quarter with his low. A floor was summoned and it was decided to try to re-construct the pot out of the stack of the player to whom it had been pushed. While all this was going on, Dwan's seat card had already been picked up and distributed out to Charlie Hartsfield. He showed up to the table, saw Dwan sitting at Table 7, Seat 6 (the assignment on his card) and was confused and amused.
Eventually, the pot was more or less re-constructed, with Dwan getting 5,000. He figures he might have been short-changed about 1,000 chips but it was the quickest and best solution for the table so he let it go. Justin Smith, watching everything play out, said, "Learn how to read hands, man."
"I was so tilted," Dwan replied. "I got 5-outered for a side pot I was going to scoop with one pair. That's so sick. How did everyone miss it?"
Barry Greenstein wandered by the table to check in on the commotion. When he realized what had happened, he said to Dwan, "Now that I know you're able to read your hand we have to come up with a bet. Before I felt like I was taking advantage of you."
"I've never done that before in my life," said Dwan. "Ivey tilted me."
