Kenney Doesn't Believe O'Dwyer

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Bryn Kenney completed with {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Steve O'Dwyer raised the price to 16,000 with {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Kenney called and then they checked it to the {5-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} turn where Kenney led out 9,000. O'Dwyer called and filled his open-ender when the {9-Diamonds} river arrived. Kenney checked, O'Dwyer fired 33,000 and Kenney paused for a moment. Then he went for a bluff-catch but O'Dwyer showed him the goods and vaulted over 500,000 in chips.
