: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Three players saw a flop of A♦J♥2♦, creating a pot of 35,000. The action checked to Steve O'DDwyer on the button who fired a bet of 20,000. Hassan Nashar folded, while Jean-Noel Thorel made the call.
The 2♠ turn received checks by both players and the 6♦ completed the board on the river.
Thorel took the lead, firing 35,000 across the line, before O'Dwyer pushed 109,000 into the middle, leaving just 1,000 behind. Thorel thought about it for a few moments before making the call. O'Dwyer tabled 2♣2♥, for quad deuces and Thorel mucked his hand.
