Dwan Butchers The Raptor

When we came to the table, Tom Dwan and David Benefield were starting to build a pretty big pot. Dwan had checked the turn when the board read {7-Spades} {a-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} , and Benefield bet out 13,500. Dwan opted to raise, making it 35,500 on top. Benefield called, and the players saw the {4-Spades} hit the river. Dwan bet the pot, and Benefield called fairly quickly, and was not happy to that Dwan had the nuts with {j-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {k-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} . The pot pushed Dwan up to 400,000, while Benefield is left with just 20,000.
