O'Dwyer Runs Into Greenwood's Set

David Salituro

Level 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Sam Greenwood raised to 3,000 on the button, Steve O'Dwyer three-bet to 12,500 in the small blind, and Greenwood called.

The flop came 5♣K♣6♠ and O'Dwyer continued for 7,000. Greenwood called.

The 2♥ fell on the turn and O'Dwyer bet 20,000. Greenwood again stuck around to see the 8♠ river, where O'Dwyer bet 62,000, leaving himself just one red 500 chip behind.

Greenwood moved all in and O'Dwyer tossed in his last chip. Greenwood showed him 5♥5♠ for a set and O'Dwyer mucked A♦K♦ before making his exit.

Thomas Boivin was also recently eliminated after Daniel Dvoress called his river all-in shove with aces and sixes. "Are you disappointed the ace came so you couldn't just call him with a six," tablemate Sam Grafton said.

"I wasn't calling turn to fold river," Dvoress replied.
