Really strange to see Tom Dwan down soooo much. But he did have his share of extraordinary beats and missed monster draws..

Let’s talk about that record-setting hand, the $695,000 monstrosity that now stands as the third-largest online pot ever played. It turned out to be a bit of a cooler, all the money going in before the flop with Dwan’s up against Isildur1’s . Isildur1’s aces held up on the board, earning him $694,953.

After settling in at the Golden Nugget, Dwan played Isildur1 for another three hours but could not quell the bleeding, another $705,000 flowing out of his bankroll and into Isildur1’s coffers. The 2,100-hand match was all about Isildur1, who took all five of the night’s largest pots.

Dwan opened for his standard $3,000 holding and Isildur1 three-bet him light with the . Dwan called, the flop coming down a delicious for Isildur1. Typically hyperaggressive, Isildur1 checked this flop instead and Dwan checked it right back, perhaps sensing something was amiss. The on the turn was a great card for Dwan, who picked up the nut flush draw and top pair. Isildur1 checked again, Dwan bet $17,400 and Isildur1 came in with a raise to $64,800. Dwan shipped the rest of his stack in, $159,498 in all, and Isildur1 called, his trip sevens holding up on the river to earn him the $342,996 pot.

And so just for this week alone, Dwan has lost over $3 Million to Isildur. Peace out!
