Nikitins Busts to O'Dwyer's Higher Two Pair
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mihails Nikitins raised to 5,000 from the small blind and Steve O'Dwyer called in the big blind.
The flop came Q?8?4? and Nikitins checked. O'Dwyer bet 7,000 and Nikitins called. The turn was the 9? and Nikitins checked again, which prompted O'Dwyer to fire out a bet of 18,000.
The river was the 7? and Nikitins jammed all in. O'Dwyer didn't hesitate to make the call and the hand went to showdown. Nikitins showed Qx7x for two pair, but it turned out to be a bad river for him as O'Dwyer tabled Q?8? for a higher two pair to win the pot.
Nikitins was sent to the rail and O'Dwyer chipped up to nearly 150,000.
