Steve O'Dwyer opened from under the gun and both Michael Soyza and Daniel Dvoress called in the blinds.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and it checked to O'Dwyer who bet 155,000. Dvoress was the only caller and the turn was the {8-Clubs}.

Dvoress checked and O'Dwyer bet 185,000. Dvoress called again.
