Mike Watson: {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

No diamond followed as the {9-Clubs} river secured the double for O'Dwyer.

Dvoress Pays Off Mateos

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 10,000 and was called by Aleksejs Ponakovs in the hijack and Daniel Dvoress in the cutoff. Adrian Mateos then reraised to 45,000 on the button and O'Dwyer used one time bank before folding. Ponakovs quickly folded and Dvoress reluctantly called.

Both checked the {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop and {6-Clubs} turn while using most of their 30-second shot clock. On the {10-Clubs} river, Dvoress checked again and Mateos bet 80,000. That sent his table neighbour into a brief tank and he invested one time bank extension before calling. Mateos rolled over the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and that won the pot after a six-minute hand.
