David Steicke moved all in for 88,000 from early position and his neighbor Steve O'Dwyer made the call. Action folded to Sam Greenwood in the small blind and he moved in for 162,000. Anthony Zinno in the big blind instantly shoved all in as well for 168,000 and the decision was back on O'Dwyer. He asked the dealer to pull in the 88,000 from Steicke to see how much extra he needed to put in. He eventually did commit those chips and it was a four way showdown.
Steve O'Dwyer:
Anthony Zinno:
Sam Greenwood:
David Steicke:
The flop came just about as good as it could come for O'Dwyer: . Both Zinno and Greenwood had to hope for runner runner queen nine to stay alive, while Steicke needed runner runner eight nine. With the on the turn all hope was lost for Zinno and Greenwood while Steicke still could hit a nine to stay alive. The on the river was a blank and three players were heading for the exit.
"Did you just flop 100%?" Greenwood asked with a look of disbelief on his face, followed by a smile. Zinno got up while Steicke was still wondering if he even had outs left after the flop.
With the table now short lots of players, the next hand was not dealt yet as more players had to come in first. Martin Finger got up from the table and shouted "Who wants to play with O'Dwyer?" with a big smile on his face. O'Dwyer himself couldn't believe it and with a big smile on his face he started counting his chips; 775,000.
