O'Dea Hero-Calls; Zizka on Piles
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
In a pot worth 75,000, Eoghan O'Dea checked the 3♣10♥Q♦Q♥ turn from the big blind, and Elijah Winkler followed suit on the button. O'Dea checked again on the 10♣ river, but this time Winkler bet 26,000.
O'Dea did not take long before he called. Winkler could only show a bluff with 8♣7♣, leaving O'Dea to take the pot with A♥J♥.
Over at another table, backgammon Grandmaster Zdenek Zizka and Philip Chun were heads up on the J♥4♠K♥5♣5♦ river. Zizka bet 12,500 into a pot of 48,000 from early position, which Chun quickly called in the hijack.
Zizka tabled K♠9♠ for kings and fives, and Chun's cards were swiftly returned to the muck.
