Tom Dwan raised to 1,100 preflop and Van Strydonck reraised to about 3,000. Dwan called the flop came out J96.
Van Strydonck bet 4,500 and Dwan called. Both players checked the 9 on the turn and the river was the 6.
Dwan then open shoved his last 23,000 and Van Strydonck went into the tank. When he came up, he made the call, showing pocket queens. Dwan could only show counterfeited pocket fours and left the tournament room.
