Oops For O'Dwyer

A player under the gun opened to 475 and received two callers before Steven O'Dwyer re-raised to 1,875 on the button. The original raiser shoved for 6,225 and action folded back to O'Dwyer who went into the tank. After a few minutes of painful thinking, O'Dwyer made a crying call and opened {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

His opponent spiked {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} onto the felt and screamed, "Hold!"

The man indeed held after the board ran {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and O'Dwyer slipped to 6,500 chips.
