O'Dea Does What He Can

It was a limped pot that saw five players take a {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {8-Spades}. The action checked all the way around to Eoghan O'Dea last to act, and he put out a smallish bet of 450. Two players folded, two players called, and it was three-handed to the turn. It brought the {7-Spades} and another bet from O'Dea — 1,300 this time. One player folded, one player called, and now it was heads-up to the last card, the {6-Diamonds}. When the first player checked, O'Dea checked it right back and showed down his {K-} {Q-}. It was no good, though, as Mr. Opponent rolled over {9-Spades} {10-Diamonds} for the nuts.

O'Dea did what he could, betting when he was in front and checking it back once his opponent caught up. Minimizing his losses, he's slipped back close to 23,000 now.
