Lococo's Overpair Holds to Eliminate O'Dwyer
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Felipe Ketzer opened 9,000 in the hijack, and Steve O'Dwyer flatted next to act before Alejandro Lococo three-bet 33,000 on the button. Ketzer got out of the way, but O'Dwyer made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 8♥7♦6♠, and O'Dwyer quickly checked. Lococo thought about it for a little over 30 seconds, tossing in a time chip. Eventually, he dropped a stack of greens across the line for a bet of approximately 250,000. O'Dwyer had 127,000 remaining and made the call.
Steve O'Dwyer: A♠8♠
Alejandro Lococo: J♣J♥
O'Dwyer flopped top pair but was looking to improve as Lococo had an over pair. The 4♦ turn, and 3♠ river were no help though as he exited the tournament.
