Steve O’Dwyer Raises the River
Steve O’Dwyer is still the short stack, but he just made a statement on the river that may signal a change to this heads up contest.
O’Dwyer opened to 60,000 and Sam Soverel called in the big blind.
Soverel check-called 35,000 and then both players checked the [4d].
The [8s] completed the board and Soverel led for 45,000. As O’Dywer’s clock was about to hit zero, he verbalized, “Three-hundred and fifty.” before pushing three and a half stacks over the line – leaving 220,000~ behind.
Soverel got confirmation and looked interested in a call. He eventually conceded, limiting his loses and keeping his chip lead in the process.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Sam Soverel | 910,000 |
-50,000  |
| Steve O'Dwyer | 765,000 |
240,000  |
