"I Thought for Sure I Had the Best Hand
Hand #33: Dario Sammartino raised to 66,000 from middle position and Steve O'Dwyer called from the button. When the flop came down 
, Sammartino check-called a bet of 80,000 and then both players checked the 
turn. The 
river put a straight on the board, and Sammartino led out for 225,000. It did the trick as O'Dwyer folded.
Hand #34: O'Dwyer raised to 75,000 from the cutoff and won the pot.
Hand #35: Andrey Andreev opened for 60,000 from middle position and O'Dwyer called from the hijack. The rest of the players folded and the flop came down 
. Andreev check-called a bet of 55,000, and then check-called one of 135,000 on the 
turn.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Andreev checked for a third time and O'Dwyer bet 240,000. Andreev then woke up with a check-raise to 500,000, and O'Dwyer hit the tank.
"I thought for sure I had the best hand" O'Dwyer admitted, eventually calling after a couple more minutes passed.
Andreev tabled the 
for trips, and it was good as O'Dwyer mucked.
