O’Dwyer Tanks

Level 11 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

With an open from early position to 3,000 Mustapha Kanit made the call as did Steve O’Dwyer and with the blinds folding they went three-way to the flop of .

The original raiser checked and when Kanit bet 4,000 O’Dwyer called and he folded. Both players checked the turn and when the river came the that’s when the fun started.

Kanit bet 20,000 and O’Dwyer went in the tank, sitting silently. Kamit didn’t move but as the minutes ticked by he got bored and started looking at his phone. If O’Dwyer called and lost he would be left with under ten big blinds. A little prompting from O’Dwyer started Kamit talking and he didn’t stop, outlining what he could have including, “A jack, aces, kings, a flush, five-six.”

“You just named all the hands that are better than mine.” O’Dwyer said. A crowd gathered as more time ticked by and it was into five minutes before one player did call the clock. Before the countdown began though, O’Dwyer plonked down the calling chips. His cards would remain unseen however as Kanit showed the flush.

Level 11 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Joseph Hachem moved all in from the cut-off for 12,700 and got a call from the player on the button and after a bit of a dwell up the player in the big bind called too.

The flop of was checked but on the turn the big blind player bet 15,100 and got Hachem to himself. Hachem showed and needed to hit against his opponent’s . The river card was the which was enough to send Hachem to the rail. The player who folded mock complained that he had folded .
