The 8♦ fell on the turn, and O'Dwyer checked once more before facing a bet of 105,000. After using almost his entire time bank, he made the call.

Santerne Doubles Through O'Dwyer

Nível 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action folded to Sam Greenwood who opened from the cutoff to 25,000. Steve O'Dwyer reraised to 72,000 from the small blind. Thomas Santerne used two time banks before jamming all in. Greenwood folded quickly and O'Dwyer flipped in a single chip to make the call.

Thomas Santerne: Q♠Q♦
Steve O'Dwyer: A♣K♥

The 4♠5♠2♣ flop was about as it good as it gets for Santerne's queens. The turn 6♦ meant the pot would be chopped on a three. The 10♦ secured a double up for Santerne to keep him in the tournament.
