Dwan Butchers The Raptor

When we came to the table, Tom Dwan and David Benefield were starting to build a pretty big pot. Dwan had checked the turn when the board read {7-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, and Benefield bet out 13,500. Dwan opted to raise, making it 35,500 on top. Benefield called, and the players saw the {4-Spades} hit the river. Dwan bet the pot, and Benefield called fairly quickly, and was not happy to that Dwan had the nuts with {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. The pot pushed Dwan up to 400,000, while Benefield is left with just 20,000.
