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 {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

Indeed it was not good as Spindler had him dominated with the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} 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 {J-Hearts} 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 {6-Spades} 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.
