Big Stacks Clash

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The board read {3-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts} with around 35,000 in the middle already.

David Peters had check-raised the 15,000 bet of Steve O'Dwyer to 60,000 from the small blind and O'Dwyer called in the cutoff.

The river completed the board with the {10-Hearts} and Peters checked for the last time. O'Dwyer bet 60,000 and Peters tanked, after using a time bank card, Peters raised to 300,000. This sent O'Dwyer into the tank who folded after using three time bank cards.
