Steve O’Dwyer Wins From Big, Adams Doesn’t
Ben Tollerene opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Stephen Chidwick called on the button before Steve O’Dwyer defended his big.
The [8c6c4s] flop brought checks from all three and O’Dwyer led the [Jc] turn for 9,000. Both Tollerene and Chidwick called to see the [8d] pair the board on the end.
The river brought another three checks and O’Dwyer took the pot after he showed [KcJd].
Two hands later, Mikita Badziakouski opened to 6,000 from under the gun and Timothy Adams defended his big blind.
The short stack and chip leader checked the [Js9c7d] flop, with the former leading for 11,000 after the [4d] came on the turn.
Badziakouski called and the [3h] completed the board. Adams checked for a second time and then folded to Badziakouski’s 30,000 river bet.
While the Belarusian’s stack increased, Adams dropped near 20 big blinds.
