Paul Newey opened for 22,000 with the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} in the hijack. Connor Drinan then three-bet to 55,000 from the cutoff with the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, Steve O'Dwyer cold called from the big blind with the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and Newey got out of the way.

Both players checked the {5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop and then O'Dwyer bet 63,000 on the {7-Spades} turn. When the {3-Clubs} completed the board on the river, O'Dwyer led out for 140,000 and Drinan hit the tanks for several minutes before making the call.

O'Dwyer tabled his tens and seemed a little surprised to see Drinan roll over pocket rockets for the win.
