Ketzer Dodges Straight Flush Draw to Eliminate O'Dwyer

Tboss

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

Three players created a pot of about 55,000 to see the flop of 10♠7♠5♦ and the action checked to Felipe Ketzer on the button, who dropped three gray chips across the line for a bet of 15,000. Steve O'Dwyer was in the blind and check-raised to 45,000.

Ren Lin quickly got out of the way and Ketzer put in slightly more than a min-reraise to 77,000. O'Dwyer thought about it for a few seconds before jamming all-in and Ketzer quickly called.

Steve O'Dwyer: 9♠8♠
Felipe Ketzer: Q♥Q♦

Ketzer had an overpair but was still looking to fade the open-ended straight flush draw of O'Dwyer. The 10♣ turn and 10♦ river did just that as Ketzer improved to a full house to eliminate O'Dwyer from the tournament.

Tboss

Ren Lin opened 10,000 under the gun and Timothy Adams called in the cutoff before Erik Seidel defended the big blind.

When the 2♠ hit the turn, Seidel jammed for the rest of his stack of about 40,000, and Lin sigh-called.

"Just a six," Said Seidel as he tabled his cards.

Erik Seidel: 7♦6♣
Ren Lin: K♠K♣

Seidel was unable to find one of the remaining sixes to crack the kings of Lin as the 8♣ completed board, eliminating him from the tournament.

Hassan Nashar: K♠Q♦
Timothy Adams: 2♠2♣

Nashar discovered a good kicker with his king, but it wasn't enough against Adams' flopped set. With approximately 80,000 chips, Nashar was covered and was eliminated.
