O'Dwyer Doubles through Busquet

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 23,000 and Olivier Busquet three-bet to 50,000 from one seat over. The EPT Grand Final champion of Season 10 moved all in for 232,000 and Busquet called.

Busquet: {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
O'Dwyer: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

The {J-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} flop brought an additional flush draw for O'Dwyer, though the {6-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing. The {7-Hearts} on the river was much to the liking of O'Dwyer as he doubled up with the nut flush.

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

Bryn Kenney raised to 22,000 from under the gun plus one. Ivan Soshnikov was in the hijack and bumped it up to 47,000 as the decision fell back on Kenney. He opted to move all in for around 150,000 in chips and was snap called.

Kenney: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Soshnikov: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Kenney was in big trouble against the monster pair held by Soshnikov and would find no help as the board ran out {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} to see him eliminated from the tournament.

Troyanovskiy versus Chen

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy
Vladimir Troyanovskiy

Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised to 22,000 preflop and found one caller in Andrew Chen in the big blind. On the {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} flop, the Canadian check-called a bet of 20,000 and did so after the {K-Spades} turn as well for 55,000. Chen checked for the third time on the {3-Diamonds} river and Troyanovskiy bet 131,000.

Chen started staring at him and the Russian suddenly put the hoodie over his face, covering the left half and staring with the right eye towards the board to not give away any emotions. Chen kept looking at the board, back at Troyanovskiy and then mucked his cards.

Holz: {K-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Markin: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Holz was behind and would find no help as the board ran out {7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} to see him hit the rail.

Kanit the next Millionaire

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

After a raise of Timothy Adams, Mustapha Kanit called on the button and Juha Helppi tossed in the extra chips out of the big blind as well. On the {8-Hearts} {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}, Helppi check-folded and Kanit called the continuation bet of Adams for 35,000. The {K-Spades} on the turn didn't slow down Adams, as he fired a second barrel worth 80,000.

Kanit didn't go anywhere and made the call before the action was checked to him on the {Q-Clubs} river. The Italian bet 211,000 and that enforced a fold from Adams.
