O'Dwyer Leaves Biemueller with Crumbs
Steve O'Dwyer opened to 16,000 in early position, and the action folded over to Steven Biemueller in the small blind. Biemueller opted to three-bet to 30,000, which, after some consideration, O'Dwyer called.
Biemueller checked on the A♠10♠9♦, and then called a bet of 15,000 from O'Dwyer.
Before the 6♦ turn was even dealt, Biemueller announced he was checking in the dark. O'Dwyer followed suit and checked back.
The 5♥ completed the board, and Biemueller checked for a third time. O'Dwyer then carved 51,000 out of his stack and put it into the middle. His bet represented a significant portion of Biemueller's remaining 72,000 chips.
After toiling over the decision, Biemueller opted to call.
It was immediate bad news, as O'Dwyer flipped over A♥J♦ for top pair. Unable to beat it, Biemueller returned his cards to the dealer.
