O'Dwyer Stacks McLaughlin

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a pot worth 250,000, Brett McLaughlin checked the 6539 turn from the big blind to Steve O'Dwyer in early position. O'Dwyer fired a bet of 160,000, which McLaughlin raised all-in for 650,000.

O'Dwyer spent some moments in the tank before he shrugged and tossed in calling chips.

Brett McLaughlin: 96 All in
Steve O'Dwyer: 66

McLaughlin clapped his hands when he revealed his cards, but his two pair was drawing very thin against O'Dwyer's set. The 4 river did not provide McLaughlin with an out, resulting in his exit.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to slowroll you," O'Dwyer apologized as he raked in the chips.

McLaughlin took no offense and said some goodbyes to his former tablemates before picking up his payout.
