Dwan clears his head with a positive session vs. Gus Hansen

May 1, 2009

Yesterday saw a rematch of the Heads Up game last week between Gus Hansen and Tom “Durrrr” Dwan. They sat back at Hansen’s Hangout and Suckout Omaha tables on Full Tilt for a session which saw over 20 $100,000 + pots.

Dwan probably felt it just wasn’t his night the last time these two played, but last night must have felt more comforting for him after posting an estimated $400,000 win over The Great Dane. It didn’t start out to well for Dwan when he was dealt AhAd5s10s and 4 bet his hand preflop vs. Hansen’s Qh10HJd7d. The flop was 10d2s9d and Hansen opened for $54,000. Dwan shoved over the top for $141,371. Gus put his remaining $31,492.5 into the pot with his inside straight flush draw and was pleased to see the 3d on the turn followed by the 8d on the river to complete his straight flush. The Pot was worth $224,984.5 and was the largest of the session.

Durrrr quickly made the majority of that loss back when he 3 bet his 10d6s8dQh hand preflop vs Hansen’s As9S3cQ3. The flop dropped Qd3s2s giving Hansen 2 pair and the nut flush draw. Hansen leads out for $18,000 which Dwan smooth calls. The turn is the Kd. Dwan leads out the betting for $54,000 with his top pair and flush draw. Hansen shoves the remainder of his $96,492.25 chips into the pot. Dwan calls for his $23,483 behind and must have been delighted to have hit the 6c on the river to sweep the pot with a better 2 pair. Durrrr had an encouraging session and will be re-energised in his quest to break even for the year. He still has his challenge vs. Patrik Antonius to play out and will undoubtedly revisit that before the WSOP starts in the next month.
