Straight Over Straight Sees Tamasauskas Double
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Vladas Tamasauskas limped in from the small blind. Steve O'Dwyer raised to 6,000, from the big blind, and Tamasauskas called.
The 7?5?2? flop checked through to the 6? on the turn. Tamasauskas took the lead for 10,500 and O'Dwyer called.
The Q? river saw Tamasauskas bet out 42,000, a virtual all-in with 500 behind the line. O'Dwyer moved all in, asking for Tamasauskas's last red chip and Tamasauskas called.
Vladas Tamasauskas: 9?8? 
Steve O'Dwyer: 4?3?
Both players had turned a straight, but Tamasauskas was best, doubling him up.
