Statuesque, Regardless of the Stakes

With three-limpers before him, Tom Dwan decided to raised it up to 300 from the small blind, only for UTG to reraise to 850. Dwan mulled over his options for 30 seconds before sliding his remaining 2,700 across the felt.

No snap-call was a good sign for Dwan (unless he had the bullets, of course), his opponent instead asking for a count. Dwan, meanwhile, was as still as a bottle of Evian water, staring straight ahead with his mouth slightly ajar.

Dwan was statuesque, and for a moment, it reminded me of his posture during that hand on High Stakes Poker with Phil Ivey, except for slightly smaller stakes and without those darn lights watering his eyes. It was clear, that whatever the tournament, Dwan's response remained the same.

After a long dwell, his opponent lay it down, and Dwan took the pot.
