The Ever Fluctuating Chip Stack Of Tom Dwan

Tom Dwan
Tom Dwan

It seems like every time we pass Tom Dwan's table he is either up 100,000 or down 100,000, so maybe we should just dedicate one person to stand over his shoulder and see how it all goes down.

Anyway, we came into a hand where he and Kevin Boudreau were heads up on the turn and the board read {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} Dwan checked from middle position and Boudreau put out a bet of 3,500. Dwan elected to just call (a rarity for him).

The river came {4-Clubs} and again Dwan checked over to Boudreau who bet 4,500. Dwan looked like he was about to count out a pot raise, but he eventually just splashed in the call. Boudreau showed {a-}{k-} for top two pair and it was good.

Dwan then said something along the lines of, "Man, I was definitely going to raise you, but then you just put 4,500 out there... if you had put like 11,000 out there I was absolutely going to raise you."

Dwan lost the hand but is still up to 220,000 at this point in the tournament and Boudreau is right around 85,000.
