O’Dwyer Wins Yummy Pot

Steve O’Dwyer has started slowly here in the HK$103,000 High Roller but won a hand from Ryan Yum at the start of the new level to keep his tournament ticking over.

Pre-flop it was Xuming Qi who was the initial raiser, opening to 1,200 from under-the-gun, with O’Dwyer making the call from middle position before Yum re-popped from the button with a raise to 3,300.

Qi folded quickly but O’Dwyer decided he wanted to play and tossed in the call to take play heads-up to the flop, which the US player checked over to Yum, who checked it back.

The turn also saw no action and the landed on the river. This saw O’Dwyer lead for 16,000 and Yum ran the shot clock down and burned the first of his time bank chips before folding, leaving O’Dywer to scoop the pot.
