O'Dwyer Doubles Lonis Up, Busts Soon After

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Jesse Lonis opened to 22,000 from early position and Steve O'Dwyer three-bet jammed for 210,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Lonis who called for less, putting at risk his last 135,000.

Jesse Lonis: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Steve O'Dwyer: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and Lonis doubled up with aces and kings, leaving O'Dwyer with 53,000.

O'Dwyer found a double quickly after to get some chips back, but that didn't last long as he was once again all-in and at risk a few hands later when he moved all in under the gun for 121,000 and was called by Jamil Wakil in the big blind.

Steve O'Dwyer: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Jamil Wakil: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

O'Dwyer was behind, but the flop came {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} giving him the lead with a pair aces. The {4-Spades} turn kept him safe but the {q-Diamonds} river completed the board, earning Wakil the pot with a set of queens, and ending O'Dwyer's run in 51st place.

A Little Action on Table One

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Alexandre Raymond raised to 23,000 and then folded when Justin Bonomo three-bet jammed in the cutoff.

Chris Brewer made it 20,000 to go in the next hand and David Mzareulov three-bet to 55,000 from one seat over on the button. Laszlo Bujtas then four-bet to 165,000 out of the small blind and forced two folds.

In the next hand, Jonathan Little min-raised to 20,000 first to act and Bonomo flat-called. The {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop brought a bet worth 20,000 by Little and a call by Bonomo. Little upped his sizing on the {9-Clubs} turn to 90,000 and Bonomo instantly folded.
