Anytime Tom Dwan is playing poker, you can bet there will be at least a few hands that make you hold your breath and clutch your wallet.
Barely three months after Dwan won the biggest pot in televised poker history at an astounding $3.1 million, the 36-year-old was creating more waves on Hustler Casino Live during a pot-limit Omaha game on Wednesday night.
Going against Marius and Charles, Dwan started feeding the pot, ultimately all-in after getting a straight draw on the flop. Marius followed with his own straight draw and the two agreed to run it twice given how much money was on the table.

That Marius and Dwan chopped it up at the end might feel a little anti-climatic but the drama here is in the details. The way Marius lingers on his decisions to call. The confidence by Dwan shoving his chips in. Neither player can be too upset with how this one ended, but goodness.
What. A. Hand.
