And here is a little recap of what happened:

  • Barry Greenstein raised under the gun to $2,500 with AA and got seven callers.
  • The flop fell 10d-2s-2c, Greenstein fired a $10,000 bet. Dwan, sitting to Greenstein's left, raised to $37,300 with Qc-10c. Peter Eastgate called with 2d-4h and so did Greenstein.
  • The turn is a 7d, Greenstein checks and Dwan bets $104,200 into a pot of $133,500. Eastgate folds his trip deuces, Greenstein folds his pocket aces and Dwan wins the pot with the third-best hand.

But after having made such a great bluff, while other players speculated on who had what, Dwan offered to make a side-bet saying that Eastgate had the best hand. Great read by durrrr!
