Big Pot for Steve O'Dwyer

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Steve O'Dwyer checks out the action on an adjacent table

Steve O'Dwyer, Piotr Franczak, Andrei Streitsou and Leonid Martin were the four players who all had put in 4,500 pre-flop, and saw a board of {2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

Leonid Martin bet 7,400 and got calls from Franczak and O'Dwyer. The {4-Spades} rolled off on the turn and this time Martin considered raising, shuffling his chips back and forth for over two minutes before chcecking to O'Dwyer. With the pot now at roughly 40,000 chips, O'Dwyer, with only a pot-sized bet behind, moved all-in for his remaining chips.

Franczak folded which meant the action was back on Martin. The chip totals were tight, but O'Dwyer looked to have the advantage. Martin eventually folded.

"Jack-king?" said Franczack, "Show one?"

O'Dwyer turned over the {9-Hearts} and Leonard Martin grimaced. This big pot gave O'Dwyer a handy boost as Day 1a comes to a close
