Steve O'Dwyer has lost his second stack and is out of the High Roller event.
We saw O'Dwyer gathering his belongings and heading for the exits, JC Alvarado was stacking his chips. We asked Alvarado what happened and he said the duo got their stacks into the middle on king-queen-ten flop (two clubs), Alvarado with king-jack and O'Dwyer with . The turn and river bricked and O'Dwyer busted for the second and last time.
Mikhail Korotkikh was warned over his celebrations earlier and now he's received a one orbit penalty for an extreme celebration. To be fair though it was a crazy suck out.
Korotkikh opened to 7,500 and called when Imad Derwiche three-bet him to 15,000.
Both players checked the flop before Korotkikh open shipped the turn for around 65,000!
Derwiche was sat with pocket aces and obviously was very quick to call. Amazingly Korotkikh had a monster too as he opened for a smaller set.
The best was yet to come as the river fell as to make the Russian quads! The two player's reactions were very polarised at this point as Korotkikh went crazy and shouted his lungs off in Russian. Derwiche just place his head on the table and covered himself with his arms.
Korotkikh was given severe telling offf and a one orbit penalty.
Dominik Nitsche's High Roller has come to an abrupt end after he ran into the pocket kings of Jonas Lauck.
Roman Korenev opened to 1,500 from late position and after one player folded Nitsche three-bet to 6,000 from the cutoff. Lauck was on the button and he made it 13,000 to play, forcing out Korenev and giving Nitsche something to think about. Nitsche decided to move all-in and Lauck snapped him off.

Nistche needed to hit otherwise he would be eliminated. His position become even more precarious when the flop came down and when the turn was the Nitsche was drawing dead. The was the river cards and Nitsche headed for the exits.
Earlier today, Ghassan El Hoss lost a huge pot with but now has helped him win some of those back.
JC Alvarado opened to 8,000 in middle position, Chris McClung called in the cutoff and El Hoss called in the big blind. The all-club flop was checked by EL Hoss, bet to the tune of 8,000 by Alvarado and called by McClung. No sooner had McClung's calling chips hit the felt, El Hoss moved all-in.
Both active players folded and El Hoss showed the .
Roberto Romanello stopped by and asked how El Hoss was getting on, saying he had told El Hoss to shove if anyone gave him any trouble!
Ghassan El Hoss has had a real swingy day in the High Roller, but he appears to be on somewhat of a heater. The last time we checked on him he was down to 15,000 or so chips, now he is on over 100,000!
The latest hands saw him check-call a 10,000 bet from Steve O'Dwyer on a flop. The turn as the and El Hoss checked again. O'Dwyer bet enough to put him all in (around 45,000) and El Hoss called

The river was the and El Hoss' pair of fours won him the pot.
You always know if Mikhail Korotkikh wins a pot or survives an all-in because he lets out a bellowing yell in his native Russian tongue. Not speakers of Russian we do not know what he says, but he sure sounds happy.
Just now he committed his stack with on a flop only to discover he was up against the of Janos Nagygyorgy. Just as it looked like he would be screaming for all the wrong reasons, the turn and river fell and to split the pot.
