Yu Wins One, O’Dwyer Three-bets Badziakouski

Steve O’Dwyer is continuing to play a lot of early pots and has made it 3,000 to go from both the cutoff and the hi-jack to take down the blinds and antes two hands in a row.

Following O’Dwyer’s lead, Liang Yu decided to get something going, opening to 3,000 from the hi-jack the next hand and picking up a customer in big blind Predrag Lekovic, who checked the flop over to Yu.

Yu continuation bet 3,000, which Lekovic called and the dealer flipped over the turn, bringing checks from both players.

The Montenegrin checked the river over to Yu for a third time and the Chinese player fired for 15,000, which was enough to win the hand.

Steve O’Dwyer opened yet another pot, this time for 2,500 from under-the-gun, only to see Mikita Badziakouski reach for raising chips and he made it 8,200 to go.

Action folded back over to O’Dwyer who stared Badziakouski down for a bit before reaching for chips and three-betting to 26,500 in total. Badziakouski re-checked his cards, tapped the table and made the fold leaving O’Dwyer to rake in a 10,000-chip pot without showdown.
