O'Dwyer O'Dominating
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
From the hijack seat, Steve O'Dwyer made his opening raise to 14,500, and Aaron Mermelstein three-bet to 36,500 right next door. O'Dwyer called, and the two men took a flop. When O'Dwyer checked, Mermelstein continued out with a bet of 50,000 straight. O'Dwyer called that bet, and he called another 125,000 after the turn. On the river, the drew checks from both players.
O'Dwyer was first to show, and his was good enough for the pot. It pushes him all the way up to 670,000, and O'Dwyer certainly must be happy to have six times as many chips in front of him now as at the day's beginning. He and Jacobo Fernandez are the day's biggest movers.
