#526 – London 2008 #33 – Million Dollar Cash Game – Tom Dwan’s Got Guts, and He Knows a Thing or Two
So on the hand where Jesus live-straddles, Eli Elezra raises with ace-king. Tom Dwan, with 7-6o, reraises. Again, I’m thinking this is way too much tangling with a former officer of the Israeli Army. But Tom proves that, for a guy who looks like he’s still young enough to get his picture taken when he gets a haircut, he can be pretty tough too.
Elezra just calls the reraise, so there’s $24,500 in the pot before the flop.
The flop is 4s-Th-Jc. Eli checks and Dwan, the reraiser, checks behind.
The turn is the five of diamonds. Eli, with his two overcards and gutshot – which he probably was thinking of check-raising on the flop – bets out for $25,000, the size of the pot.
Tom now has a legitimate hand, with the open-ended straight draw. He could have as many as 14 outs – and actually does.
Dwan moves all-in, raising another $100,000. Eli, who has shown tom after time that it’s not easy to get him out of the pot, and who can beat only a bluff but could have ten outs … folds.
