Steve O’Dwyer Makes Quads, Doubles Through Sam Soverel
Sam Soverel opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and the table folded to Steve O’Dwyer in the big blind.
O’Dwyer asked for a rough estimate of Soverel’s stack and as his 30-second time bank ticked down, he announced, “All-in.”
Soverel snap called and turned over [8h8s], but he was pipped – as O’Dwyer held [9h9s]. The BPO leader needed to hit to stay alive, but instead O’Dwyer hit quads.
The board ran out [Kh6d5c9c9d] and when the stacks were cut down, Soverel was left with just 17,000 while O’Dwyer is back over the chip average.
