Dwan has been a flop of sets machine during this session. He won two monstrous pots with them against the big draws of Antonius. In the first hand, Dwan opens at $ 1,200 and Antonius call from the big blind. Antonius is the first to bet $ 2,400 on the flop 10 7 5 , Dwan raises to $ 7,700 and Antonius call. The turn brings a 2 and Antonius bet again, this time $ 17,800. Dwan raises to $71 200 and Antonius call the all-in. Dwan has a set of ten with J 10 10 3 while Antonius has J 8 6 4 for a big draw. J on the river has not helped Antonius and Dwan wins a pot of $ 148 266. Shortly after, a similar situation occurred while Antonius has bet $ 2,400 on a flop of Q 9 6 after which Dwan has raised $ 7,700. Instead of only caller, Antonius has 3-bette his opponent to $ 25,500. In control of the situation, Dwan has restarted again at $ 78,900 and Antonius has calle the all-in, showing its cards Q 8 3 for top pair and a draw to the nuts flush. Dwan showed J 10 6 6 for the small set. Q on the turn gave to Dwan a full house, allowing it to win the pot of $ 134.

In another major confrontation, Dwan did nothing to hunt "luckbox" reputation, hitting a runner-runner flush to win a pot of $ 114 484. Antonius had raised pre-flop and bet $ 2,400 on the flop Q 7 2. Dwan made the call and the 10 falls on the turn. Dwan check and Antonius bets $ 7,200. Dwan raises to $ 28,800. Antonius again raises $ 93,600 and Dwan call the all in turn. Antonius has Q 9 8 7 for two pairs and an "open-ended straight draw", while Dwan has K 10 4 2 giving two flush draws him. J that fell on the River showed no mercy for Antonius and Dwan won another big jar.

Antonius left the game after about five hours of play and both players have agreed to resume the game the next day, but several reasons have been the two players pushed their next session at a later date. We will keep you informed of upcoming parties.
