Dwan's Day Is Done

By the time Tom Dwan moved over into the Purple section, he was already short-stacked, the baggie he was carrying only containing three or four chips, representing a stack of about 7,000.

He played through a couple of orbits, then came a hand in which he raised to 750 from middle position and got two callers in the blinds, including James Calderaro in the small blind. The flop came {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and when it checked to Dwan he pushed all in for his last 6,300. Both of his opponents called, then after the {A-Clubs} turn it was Calderaro shoving his last 6,625 in the middle, getting a fold from his neighbor to the right.

Dwan and Calderaro then showed their hands...

Calderaro: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}
Dwan: {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Two pair for Calderaro and a straight draw for Dwan. The river brought the {4-Spades}, and just before the end of Level 4, Dwan's day is done.
