O'Dwyer Flops Nuts in Five-Bet Pot
Tauan De Oliveira Naves opened the action with a raise to 2,300 from the cutoff. Imad Derwiche responded with a three-bet to 5,400 from the button, after which big blind Steve O'Dwyer put in the four-bet to 14,000. De Oliveira Naves quickly folded to so many raises, and Derwiche engaged in some speech play.
''You want to win your money back?'' asked Derwiche to an ever-silent O'Dwyer. After waiting for an answer that never came, Derwiche put in the five-bet to 35,000, which O'Dwyer quickly called.
The flop fell and Derwiche protected his eyes so he could not see it until it was his turn. When O'Dwyer checked, Derwiche rapidly moved all in for roughly 65,000 chips. O'Dwyer snap-called, covering his opponent, declaring: ''I have the nuts.''
Imad Derwiche:
Steve O'Dwyer:
O'Dwyer was not lying, as he indeed flopped the nut flush. The turn spelled the end for Derwiche, and as the river fell, he left the tournament area frustratedly but had enough sportsmanship to give his opponent a fist bump beforehand.
