O'Dwyer Nearly Doubles After Zouari Makes a Light Call
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer opened to 12,000 on the button and was called by Jeremie Zouari in the big blind.
Zouari check-called 10,000 bet from O'Dwyer on the 7♠Q♣8♦ flop and a 45,000 bet from O'Dwyer on the 5♦ turn.
The Q♥ completed the board and Zouari checked a final time, prompting O'Dwyer to bet 114,000, leaving himself just 1,000 behind.
Zouari went deep into the tank and burned up two time extensions before saying, "I have ace-jack." O'Dwyer remained stoic.
Zouari thought a while longer and stuck in a call. O'Dwyer tabled K♠Q♠ for trip queens and Zouari showed he held A♥J♣ as advertised to award O'Dwyer the double up.
