Dwan Plays His Cards with Spades to Start

One player raised to 900, and after another flatter, Tom Dwan paid the price to see a flop. It came out {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}, and the original raiser bet 800. The next player called, and Dwan raised it to 3,275. That was enough to fold out the c-better, but the flat caller decided to three-bet to 10,000. Dwan pushed it to 20,000, and his opponent moved all in (which was actually a call since he only had about 18,000.) Dwan had flopped a flush with {3-Spades}{2-Spades}. But his opponent had flopped a slightly bigger one with {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. Dwan was drawing dead and down to 17,000 after the hand. A few minutes later, when his table broke, he only had 7,000 to bring to his new one.
