Paul Hong and Steve O'Dwyer Go Back-and-Forth

Steve O’Dwyer raises to 13,000 from the hijack, Paul Hong defends his big blind and the dealer fans put on the flop.

Hong check-calls 9,000 to see the turn where he check-calls once more, calling 32,000. Hong checks an river and O’Dwyer piles in 179,000 with just 1,000 behind.

Hong calls and O’Dwyer turns over which prompts a snap-muck by Hong, sending the chips to O’Dwyer.

The next hand O’Dwyer opens to 14,000 and Michael Wang raises the button, making it 43,000 to go. Hong shoves from the small blind for a total of 149,000 and O’Dwyer is the lone-caller.
