Cristiani Spikes Set for Huge Double Through O'Dwyer
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Right in front of the media desk, an all in and call was announced and the cards were on their backs. Jean Cristiani was all in from late position for 210,000 against Steve O'Dwyer in early position following raises and reraises that led to all the chips being in the middle. Players turned their cards, with Cristiani at risk.
Jean Cristiani: J♥J♠ 
Steve O'Dwyer: K♣K♠
O'Dwyer had the best of it, but not for long. The flop came J♣7♣9♠ and Cristiani spiked a set of jacks. The turn was the 4♥ and river the 8♥. Cristiani held to win the pot, doubling up to around 430,000 and putting himself among the top chip stacks.
O'Dwyer's stack was devastated as he was left with around 120,000. All he could do was shrug as he handed over the chips.
