Dwan Done

Tom "durrrr" Dwan was facing a big uphill climb to get back into his heads-up match with Talal Shakerchi. Down around 20,000, Dwan raised the button with pocket tens, and Shakerchi moved all in with ace-eight. Dwan called to put himself at risk, and he would be unable to hold for the double.

The board ran {J-} {9-} {5-} {7-} {6-}, and that makes a come-from-behind straight for Shakerchi, sending Dwan to the rail.

A few minutes after Dwan's exit, Phil Ivey noticed something was amiss at the adjacent table, and he stood up for a second and craned his neck, scanning the room for his nosebleed pal. Dwan was long gone though, and Ivey seemed to smirk as he realized he'd won their last-longer bet.

We might have imagined the smirk, actually.
