Dwan Forces Out Two
There was a three-way pot going on as the board read Q♣8♠7♣3♠. The pot had around 43,000 in it. Tom Dwan was in middle position and took some time before acting. Eventually he bet 32,000. Bradley Mercer called in the big blind and an early position player with the shortest stack came along as well with the call to build the pot even more.
The river came the 9♦. Dwan was again deliberate with his action as he stood up to assess both stacks of his opponents, with the early position player having about 42,000 effective. After over a minute, Dwan fired 65,000.
Mercer quickly folded and so did the early position player and Dwan took down the chunky pot.
--
Shortly afterwards, Dwan eliminated the same early position player when he shoved for about 62,000 with A♠K♠ and Dwan's QxQx held up in the run out.
