Old stuff but it's indeed really good stuff If you ask me tom dwan durrrr always did the most insane bluffs out there!
Sometimes he managed to trick it's opponent with that look of his but again he also lost big many times.
I think we all miss those poker days when big cash games were played pretty frequent, i think it will take some time before we'll see that kind of madness again.

Dwan needs a medal, every year he is getting better so sick, and still at the beginning of his poker carreer. have all faith in him, have no clue where it ends for him.

Well I guess he decided to shoot his 3 bullets: Flop Turn and river If Ivey had something ( pair or strt)he would have probably raised because of the flush draw danger. So I guess one could fire 3 times. But still very brave. Especially because of his loose reputation.

Old news or not some of us haven't been around or playing long enough to have ever seen this and I'm glad it was posted. Very gutsy playing on both players part. I just couldn't do it! I don't want to give up $5 let alone some ridiculous amount of cash.
