[user111541]

Duthie vs. O'Dwyer: This One's Over Too

[user66118]

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 38,000 from the button, and John Duthie made the call from the big blind.

The flop came out {6-Spades}

. Duthie led out into the raiser with a bet of 65,000. With little delay, O'Dwyer raised it up to 150,000 straight. Duthie re-checked his cards before making the call.

Fourth street came the {2-Spades}

. Duthie checked it over, and O'Dwyer acted quickly once again. He slid out nearly his whole castle of chips (~425,000), leaving just his low-denomination yellow chips in front of him. Duthie announced, "All in," and O'Dwyer shrugged his shoulders and moved his last 26,000 chips into the middle.

Showdown
Duthie: {3-Clubs}

O'Dwyer:

Duthie had turned the stone cold nuts, but O'Dwyer was live with his flush draw. The river was a black card; the {6-Clubs}

was of no help to the all-in player.

After a long battle of staredowns and showdowns, John Duthie has emerged victorious. Steve O'Dwyer will pocket more than $90,000, but he too seems disappointed by his exit in the Round of 8.

Match Update

[user111541]

Jamin Stokes - 863,000
Johnny Chan - 1,057,000

The two players continue to play small ball, refusing to get into any large confrontations. There has been a lot of limping, checking on the flop and making small bets on the turn.

Duthie vs. O'Dwyer: Steve-O Moving Up

[user66118]

On a flop showing {5-Spades}

, John Duthie checked first to act, and Steve O'Dwyer put out 40,000 chips. Duthie called.

The turn brought the {J-Spades}

. Duthie checked again, then called when his opponent bet 90,000.

On the river, the {7-Spades}

drew another check from Duthie. O'Dwyer looked like he wanted to bet, but after a long pause, he tapped the table behind. Duthie waited for his opponent to show, but O'Dwyer just shook his head, very reluctant to table his hand. There was some inaudible conversation, ending with an indignant Duthie asking, "What do you got?" O'Dwyer turned over {7-Clubs}

for the rivered pair of sevens. Duthie studied and studied his hole cards before sending them to the muck, and O'Dwyer takes down another pot, crawling back into this match.

Duthie - 1,300,000
O'Dwyer - 620,000

Duthie vs. O'Dwyer: O'Dwyer's Move

[user66118]

There has been a preflop raise to 30,000 from the button nearly every hand since the break ended.

In the last pot, O'Dwyer was the button, and he made the standard raise. For the first time though, Duthie reraised to 100,000 straight. After a minute, O'Dwyer moved all in for just about 500,000 total. Duthie thought better of it and, after staring down his opponent, he mucked his hand.
