Hand #116:
Tom Dwan has the button.
He folds, David Randall moves all in for 1.05 million from the small blind, and Simon Watt quickly calls! Just like that, there are two million chips in the pot and Randall is at risk. Cards on the their backs, fellas:
Randall:
Watt:
Once again the tension comes to a climax as the entire arena rises to their feet and a buzz of excitement courses through our side of the room. We're ready for the first three cards.
Flop:
Oh my, that's pretty exciting. The reaction from the stands is nearly overwhelming, and once again players start meandering over here from the $10,000 Stud/8 event to see what all the fuss is about. Let's have a turn card, shall we?
Ahem... !
An eruption of cheers in the bleachers, players and spectators jumping up and down. Friends of Randall grabbing their heads and turning away. Dwan's corner is going nuts in anticipation of the heads-up battle just one card away.
River:
That's all she wrote for Randall, three-outed right out the door after having a nearly-insurmountable lead when three-handed play began. He'll take a cash reward of $270,299, but he is visibly disappointed at the result of that hand.
Ready for some heads-up poker?
