O'Dwyer and Salsberg Heads Up

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer is engaged in a heads-up battle with Matthew Salsberg, a producer known for his work on Entourage and Weeds. Only the winner will advance to round two of this tournament tomorrow. Salsberg has the bigger stack, and often looks like he's getting the better of the recent EPT Grand Final Main Event winner, but O'Dwyer enjoyed a recent double up and is still battling hard.

On the double up hand, Salsberg raised to 800 from the button, and O'Dwyer immediately pushed all-in. After asking for a count, Salsberg quickly called and tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}. He was slightly behind O'Dwyer's {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The board ran out {8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and O'Dwyer won the pot to stay alive. He now has 17000 in chips, but is still well behind Salsberg's larger stack.
