Today we got to live through highly exciting moments in Las Vegas, as Tom “durrrr” Dwan made it to the heads-up in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em tournament of the World Series of Poker 2010 Event #11. But then he missed the victory by a very narrow margin - and now if ever Dwan should be experiencing the tilt of his life.

The second place brought Dwan about $382K as a cold comfort, whereas the first prize would have meant him a WSOP bracelet, the prize money of $614K and even millions of dollars from bracelet bets.

Simon Watt from New Zealand won Dwan in heads-up: in the last hand Dwan’s Q-6 was not enought against Watt’s pair of nines.

After the tournament had finished, Mike Matusow blurted to Watt: “Thanks to you we saved millions of dollars! How does it feel like to be the hero of all high stakes players? Your picture will even end up hanging on the wall Bobby’s Room or something like that.”
