O'Dwyer and Juanda Spar

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer opened to 52,000 from under the gun, John Juanda called out of the small blind, and the flop fell {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Juanda check-called 65,000 from O'Dwyer, and both players checked after the {10-Clubs} turned.

The {7-Clubs} completed the board, and Juanda checked a third time. O'Dwyer tanked for 20 seconds or so, then turned over {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for queens and eights.

"Good check," Juanda said, joked. "I was going to check-raise all in."

A few hands later, Juanda opened to 55,000 from under the gun, and O'Dwyer three-bet to 140,000 in the cutoff. Juanda called, only to check-fold to a 180,000-chip bet on a flop of {6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts}.
