O'Dwyer Doubles Through Lin's Bluff

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 18,000 first to act and was called only by Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind. Lin then continued for 8,000 on the 9?9?A? flop, which O'Dwyer check-raised to 16,000.

Lin called, causing O'Dwyer to slow down and check the J? turn. Lin fired a small bet of 15,000 and O'Dwyer called. On the 5? river, Lin put O'Dwyer all in for his final 53,000 chips.

O'Dwyer went into the tank, spending two time banks before making the call.

"Ay yah. Bluff too much. No future. Go home," was Lin's cryptic message as he turned over K?10? for king-high.

O'Dwyer tabled A?4? for two pair, which Lin jokingly deemed a slow-roll and gave O'Dwyer a firm slap on the knees before paying him his double-up.
