It's a Great O'Dea

From the button, Benny Spindler brought it in with his standard raise to 70,000. He found action from the big blind where Eoghan O'Dea matched the bet to see a flop.

It came {3-Clubs} {8-Spades} {10-Hearts}, and O'Dea checked. Spindler continued out with a bet of 85,000, and his opponent came right along with the call.

Fourth street brought the {5-Hearts} and another check from O'Dea. Spindler loaded another bullet and fired 170,000 at the pot. After a long pause to consider, O'dea called once more.

The {7-Diamonds} completed the board, and O'Dea decided to lead out into the aggressor with a bet of 280,000. His move sent Spindler deep into the tank for several minutes as he shot sideways glances across the table. After a while, Spindler put in the call.

O'Dea tabled {J-Clubs} {9-Hearts} for the nuts. There was nothing Spindler could show to beat that, and he was visibly frustrated as he flung his cards into the muck. As O'Dea pulled in that big pot, Spindler glared at him through his long bangs, shaking his head and clearly steaming.

That straight pushes O'Dea up to a very healthy 2,060,000, crippling Spindler all the way down to just 290,000 as the dinner break approaches.
