ACOP Super High Roller Final Table; Can Dwyer Retain Title?
One year and two weeks ago, exactly. That was the day that Steve O'Dwyer took down this very event for HK$14,050,000. Today, the American has an amazing chance to do the incredible and retain his title with back-to-back wins.
The Season 8 APPT ACOP Super High Roller final table was star-studded, and this year it may be even more so, making O'Dywer's task that much more difficult. He'll head into play with just over 6 million chips, good for the second spot.
Andy Andrejevic leads the way with 6.255 million, and both he and O'Dwyer will be joined by John Juanda (5.11 million), Anton Astapau (3.95 million), Bryn Kenney (2.39 million), and Erik Seidel (1.8 million).
See, we told you it was going to be tough for him.
The six players above have cashed for a staggering total of $61,793,872. There's plenty more hard cash to be won today, too, and all six players are now in the money after Phanlert Sukonthachartnant bubbled late last evening.
What will they be playing for? Let's see.
