Play Resumes

Cards are back in the air. There is only one match still running on the secondary featured table, while both of the matches on the TV table are still in progress.

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

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.

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

Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer
On a flop showing {5-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {2-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} {9-Diamonds} 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
