Steve O'Dwyer Eliminated in 2nd Place (£465,000)
Just like that it's all over, just a few hands into heads-up play. Here's how it went down.
From the button, Benny Spindler raised to 225,000. Steve O'Dwyer three-bet and made it 725,000 to go. Spindler took about half a minute and then four-bet to 1.725 million. O'Dwyer studied and then announced that he was all in -- a shove worth around 7.5 million in chips. Spindler called just about as quick as you could.
"Well, that's not good," said O'Dwyer, turning over the 
.
Indeed it was not good as Spindler had him dominated with the 
.
The flop came down 
and that was just about as bad as you could get for O'Dwyer. He had no help while Spindler improved to a pair of aces and put himself further in front.
The turn card was the and spiked O'Dwyer with a pair of jacks. It wasn't much, but it helped as it gave him a chance to stay alive if he could hit a jack on the river.
The final card was the and not what O'Dwyer needed. He was eliminated in second place and earned £465,000 for his finish. The two shook hands and that was that.
