On that hand, Tom Dwan with J♠J♥ bet $5 500 on a 10♣9♠2♠ flop and got 3-bet ($17 000) from Michael Schwimer who had 10♦9♦. Dwan decided to call; the turn brought 4♣, which made Tom check. Schwimer, in turn, made a $33 000 value bet and was again called by Dwan. A♥, which turned out to be a "blank", came on the river. Schwimer again made a strong value bet of $20 000 and Dwan called. As a result, Tom lost the hand with an overpair against two pair.
Unfortunately, the new season of High Stakes Poker is only available to PokerGo subscribers, meaning that you can’t find it in the public domain now.
