Dwan Continues to Steamroll Table

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a board of {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} Tom Dwan fired out a bet of 2,275 from the small blind. The player in the cutoff made the call and we were off to the river. The {K-Clubs} came on the river putting four clubs on the board and after some time Dwan announced that he was all in. His opponent in the cutoff tossed his cards into the muck with a sigh.

"You can see one" Dwan said.

His opponent reached over and flipped up the {J-Diamonds}. This hand brings Dwan up to around 20,000.
