One of the most feared and respected players in the high-stakes online cash games is Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan.
Ask anyone who plays cash games online who they would avoid like the plague and most of them will mention Durrrr's name. One player who did lock horns with the young internet pro was a player going by the name of son-in-law. With the stakes $200/$400, each player had over $67,000 in front of them so both were very deep-stacked.
In this particular hand, Durrrr raised to $1,200 and called a re-raise of $3,600. Both players saw a flop of Td Ts 7h and son-in-law bets out $5,000, Durrrr raised to $15,700 and son-in-law flat calls. The turn is the five of hearts and son-in-law checks, Durrrr shoves all-in for almost $60,000 and son-in-law calls.
Durrrr shows 8h 6h for an open-ended straight flush draw but son-in-law was a 95.5% favourite having flopped four-of-a-kind tens! However, poker can be a cruel bitch and the four of hearts fell on the river, completing Durrrr's straight flush and awarding him the $135,217 pot!
