Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6700864, member: 407846"] Well, that was something else. Wesley is interesting as someone who sprang onto the Hustler Live Stream as a newbie (I never quite bought into that story completely), a well-heeled newbie at that, who plays in a brash manner. Like Nick Airball, you could always imagine them running into a buzzsaw. So, what I found interesting about Tom Dwan's call was not so much the call, but how he looked. Dwan looks better that I have seen him in a while. Most times I have seen him in the last few years (Triton etc.) Dwan has looked gaunt - haggard and bags under the eyes. Though his recent play is far more measured than years ago, he often looks like he has been burning the candle both ends. But what struck me in this clip is he looked really fresh and well rested...was that even some color in his face?...which in Dwan's case might simply mean having a few good night's sleeps in a row! That said, I think a great but almost expected call under the circumstances, beginning with the fact that Wesley had sloppily exposed his hand to Doug Polk. Doug instantly let the table know he has seen Wesley's cards, which were AK. Doug then the checked his hand before folding (he had not checked his cards before) and there was open banter at the table that Polk was going to fold automatically. The only real reason for Polk (logically) to check his hand at that point would be to see if he held AA or KK which he didn't and then auto-muck. And though Dwan posed for some minutes that Wesley could have flopped trips, that did not make sense after the Wesley/Polk interaction which kicked off the hand. What could Wesley have been holding A8? So, great call and great pot for Tom Dwan...and let's give some credit to Wesley who took it like a champ. [/QUOTE]
