Tom Dwan Eliminated in 16th Place ($23,519)

Tom Dwan

Everyone who had bracelet bets with Tom Dwan can all take a deep breath, as Dwan has just been eliminated. Dwan was down to his last 100,000 when he raised to 35,000 in the cutoff. Jason Mercier was next to act, and he made it 67,000 on the button. The blinds folded, and Dwan called. Dwan then bet his last 44,000 before the flop came, and Mercier called in the dark. The flop came {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, and as Dwan would soon find out, that would nearly seal his fate.

Dwan: {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Mercier: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Mercier had flopped a set of aces, and Dwan was drawing very thing. The turn brought the {8-Diamonds}, and Dwan was drawing dead to Mercier's flush. The river came the {k-Hearts}, and Mercier collected the bounty, while Dwan headed for the exit.
