O'Dwyer and Elder

[user169505]

Not your usual whizz, bang, wallop start to an EPT and in fact there is a fairly pedestrian stream of players taking their pews. One guy who had taken his seat, on time, is poker journeyman Steve O'Dwyer. He was primed and ready to go and is yet to lose a pot. In the first ten minutes he has won three uncontested pre flop pots, placed the small blind limper in his place with a raise and then won this post flop confrontation.

O'Dwyer raised to 300 in middle position and the big blind called. The flop was {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} and the big blind led with a 300 bet and O'Dwyer made the call. That was the end of the action as the {3-Hearts} and {Q-Clubs} were checked through and O'Dwyer picked up the pot holding {A-Hearts} {9-Spades} .

Then Rupert Elder took his seat on the same table and entered the action almost immediately. Philip Jacobsen made it 300 to play from first position and Elder cold called from the cutoff. The dealer gave us the {A-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Spades} on the flop and Elder called the 300 Jacobson c-bet. The {6-Spades} on the turn was checked by both parties before we saw the final card {9-Diamonds} . Jacobsen checked to Elder, who bet 650 and it was enough to win the pot.
