Don't Look Now: Dwan, Massive Pots, Molly and More

With so many personalities and poker related content out there to consume, it may be hard to catch it all but don’t worry. Each Monday, Poker Central’s Don’t Look Now series will get you up to speed on everything poker and video from the last week. From highlights, “viral” content, quick hits from social media and on-demand PokerGO content, “Don’t Look Now” brings it all together.

At the beginning of the week, no one was sure just how big each Poker After Dark cash game session would play and after Dwan’s bladed cut him a $700,000 pot, we had our answer. Few could predict that the game would actually get bigger but it did, culminating with a nearly $1 million pot at the end of Wednesday night’s session. Matthew “Aussie Matt” Kirk cracked Bill Klein’s aces to win the biggest pot of the week and now, it feels like it is only a matter of time until seven-figures gets into the middle and would anyone be surprised to see $1.5 or even $2 million thresholds fall if the stakes are big enough? We’ll have to stay tuned to PokerGO to find out…  

Don’t Look Now Bonus Video: Poker movies aren’t exactly always hits but Aaron Sorkin’s new film Molly’s Game looks like it could be one of the exceptions to that rule. Starring Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba, the film follows the story of Molly Bloom, who ran the world’s most exclusive high stakes poker game for the better part of a decade. Molly’s Game is set to hit theaters in November.
