O'Dwyer Creeping Closer to the Lead
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Chip leader Mikita Badziakouski raised to 60,000 from the hijack and received calls from Steve O'Dwyer on the button and Roman Samoylov in the small blind.
The trio saw a flop of 9♣5♠A♠, which got checked to O'Dwyer. He put forth a bet of 60,000 and Samoylov got out of the way. With the action back on Badziakouski, he grabbed more chips than O'Dwyer had put in the middle and made a raise to 180,000. O'Dwyer made the call and the big stacks had officially gone to war.
The war was short-lived, however, as when the A♥ turn was dealt, Badziakouski check-folded to O'Dwyer's 180,000 bet. The two are now playing very close stacks, while the rest of the table still trails them.
