Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Igor Kurganov
Igor Kurganov

Hand #137: Sam Greenwood folded his button and Steve O'Dwyer asked how much Kurganov was playing. He anwered he had around 2,250,000 and O'Dwyer raised to 260,000. Kurganov glanced at his cards, and moved in. "Can I get an exact count?" O'Dwyer asked. It was 2,180,000 total and O'Dwyer said "Ok, I call", immediately followed by stating his own cards with a voice not sure he was good "King jack?" It wasn't good, as Kurganov had him dominated:

Igor Kurganov: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Steve O'Dwyer: {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The flop came {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Kurganov got up from the table with a soft sigh. The {J-Diamonds} on the turn made no immediate difference and neither did the {3-Spades} on the turn. Igor Kurganov takes home €376,400.

Sam Greenwood and Steve O'Dwyer are now heads up for the title. They're guaranteed €583,500 while winning would net €806,650.

Hands 134-136: Greenwood and O'Dwyer win pots

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #134: Greenwood made it 250,000 from the button and got a call from Igor Kurganov. Kurganov check called 310,000 on {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and the two of them checked the {J-Hearts} on the turn and {K-Spades} on the river. "You win I guess" Kurganov said not willing to show his cards. He eventually mucked, and Greenwood showed {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} before receiving the chips.

Hand #135: Steve O'Dwyer made it 235,000 from the button and Sam Greenwood called from the big blind. Greenwood check called 260,000 on {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs} but check folded to O'Dwyer's 550,000 bet on the {2-Spades} turn.

Hand #131: Sam Greenwood made it 250,000 from the button and took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #132: Steve O'Dwyer raised from the button to 250,000 and Igor Kurganov three-bet from the small blind to 675,000. Sam Greenwood gave up his big blind and O'Dwyer moved all in.

"Call," Kurganov said right away, and a pot worth 6.4 million chips was upon us.

Kurganov: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
O'Dwyer: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and O'Dwyer received a massive double up, leaving Kurganov with the shortest stack.

Hand #133: Sam Greenwood limped in the small blind and Steve O'Dwyer raised it up to 300,000 from the big blind. Greenwood called, and the flop brought out {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

Greenwood check-called a bet of 240,000 and on the turn the {K-Hearts} hit. Greenwood checked again, and O'Dwyer fired out 575,000. Greenwood followed with the call rather quickly, and on the river the {9-Hearts} popped up.

Greenwood kept checking, and O'Dwyer kept betting as he announced, "One million."

Greenwood called quick again, and mucked even faster when O'Dwyer showed {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. O'Dwyer now holds a commanding chip lead over both of his opponents.

Hand 112: Greenwood Doubles

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #112: Action folded around to Igor Kurganov in the small blind and he announced all in. Greenwood contemplated what to do, counted his stack, and the dealer now put the black and red all in triangle in front of Kurganov. "Ok, let's gamble" Greenwood said while he grabbed Kurganov's triangle and put it in front of his own stack.

Sam Greenwood: {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Igor Kurganov: {4-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Greenwood was in great position to double up and did exactly that: {3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}.
