O'Dwyer was drawing slim with a dominated king and his odds only got worse on the flop 
. Luckily for him, the turn changed the landscape, putting him out in front with a pair of tens. He was not in the clear quite yet, though, as Dvoress picked up eight outs to Broadway in addition to having three live queens. However, the river came 
and O'Dwyer scored the double.
