O'Dwyer In Front Early
Level 1
: 100/200, 0 ante
While it is, of course, far too early to tell how the tournament will develop Steve O'Dwyer has taken an early lead after we caught the US pro involved in an early limped pot against the UK's Stephen Chidwick.
It was a battle of the blinds between the pair and Chidwick (small blind) had checked the action over to O'Dwyer when we arrived, with the flop spread 
.
O'Dwyer took a stab for 200 and action was back on Chidwick, who after some deliberation, check-raised to 750, which O'Dwyer called.
The 
turn brought a 2,000 bet from Chidwick and an eventual call from O'Dwyer, after an awful lot of silent staring took place.
Chidwick checked the 
river over to O'Dwyer, who fired for 2,700 and that was enough to get the UK player to give it up.
