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.

Wolpert vs. Woolf: Dustin Never Wins

[user66118]

Dustin Woolf raised to 35,000 from the button. Leo Wolpert grabbed a big stack of covering chips and slid a tower of pink ones into the middle of the table. Woolf didn't look too happy about it, but he called off his last ~300,000 chips to put himself at risk.

Showdown
Woolf: {6-Diamonds}

Wolpert:

Woolf was disgusted with the bad news, walking away from the table and off the set entirely. The news would get better though. The flop came down {6-Spades}

, and the floorman had to tell Dustin that he had found one of the two remaining sixes. Woolf made his way back to the table just in time to see the dangerous {8-Diamonds}

hit the turn, giving Wolpert a straight draw on both ends.

Sure enough, the {4-Clubs}

spiked the river to give Wolpert the re-suckout straight and eliminate Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf.

Woolf put up an admirable fight here against Wolpert, having the short stack for the duration of the battle. In the end, he would fall though, and Leo Wolpert is headed on to the Final Four.
