. Both Seidel and then Farrell checked to O'Dwyer, who bet 110,000. Seidel folded quickly, but Farrell looked like hew as going to be sticking around.
After a while he announced all in, covering his opponent's stack. O'Dwyer pulled a perplexed looking face.
"I haven't played much poker over the last few weeks," he said, "So I'm just going to..." he made an action with his hands and contemplated his decision.
