All Three Streets from O’Dwyer
Steve O’Dwyer was in the big blind in a pot against Ivan Soshnikov who was under-the-gun. The flop was and O’Dwyer bet 11,100. Soshnikov thought for a while and made the call. Turn card and O’Dwyer continued for 20,000. There was a slightly longer pause from Soshnikov before he made the call. River card and O’Dwyer went for the lot, an all-in of 52,000. Soshnikov was flummoxed and took his time. The break was called and players from other tables streamed out of the tournament area for their twenty minutes freedom. The players at this table however stayed to see the result, including Isaac Haxton and Eugene Katchalov. Soshnikov smiled ruefully and looked a bit deflated. O’Dwyer didn’t move a muscle. A couple of minutes ticked by before Soshnikov mucked his cards. “Got him.” Said Haxton.
