Tom Dwan and martonas have been exchanging sick amounts of money
One of the hottest online rivalries seems to be developing as Tom Dwan clashed again with martonas on Full Tilt Poker last night. GSN's High Stakes Poker host Gabe Kaplan famously chimed, 'welcome to durrrrland' following the young American's fearless play, and it seems martonas paid a little trip last night.
The exact profit / deficit margins are unknown due to the sheer volume of play, but it is estimated Dwan ran away over $1 million in the blue, with the Swede dropping as much as $3 million across all tables. To the delight of railbirds, four of the 10 biggest pots recorded in the last year were played out.
A remarkable, action flop guaranteed a staggering $603,752 pot. Martonas flat called a $34k 3-bet pre-flop with K
K
, after durrrr got frisky with the 5 4. The K
3 2 flop gave martonas the stone cold nuts, however gifted Dwan an open-ended straight draw.
Both players checked, however the 4 on the turn prompted a $78k bet from martonas. Having hit a pair, and needing a 6 or an A for the nuts, Dwan flat called. The 6
on the river completed his straight, and Dwan insta-called martonas’s $268k shove.
A $578k pot also went swimming Dwan’s way. On a 9 6 A board, Dwan led out for $15k into a $22k pot with K 8. The 7d gifted him the nut flush. After the 5 on the river, Dwan made a sly check, prompting a $100k bet from martonas. Dwan immediately check-raised all in, and received a crying call. Martonas mucked his hand.
