O'Dwyer Cracks Aces to Double

Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer opened the button to 32,000, Leonard Maue three-bet to 108,000 from the small blind. O'Dwyer then decided to four-bet jam for 503,000 and Maue snapped it off.
Steve O'Dwyer: Q♥J♥
Leonard Maue: A♠A♦
O'Dwyer picked the wrong time to make a move as the chip leader woke up with aces. However, the Q♦J♣9♦ flop vaulted O'Dwyer into the lead and it stayed that way on the J♦Q♠ runout and O'Dwyer filled up to crack aces and win the largest pot of the tournament thus far.
