Level 24 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

The heads-up match lasted all but four hands and Steve O'Dwyer won all of them. Ilari Sahamies asked before the start of the heads-up whether they could also play it at a later date, but O'Dwyer suggested to play a while still and see where that leads to.

In the first hand of heads-up, Sahamies raised to 400,000 and O'Dwyer called. They checked the flop {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and the {J-Spades} turn before O'Dwyer bet the {J-Diamonds} river for 450,000 to scoop the pot uncontested.

The second hand was a limp by O'Dwyer and the check of Sahamies. On the {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, Sahamies check-folded to a bet worth 200,000 by O'Dwyer.

The third hand was a walk for O'Dwyer and he then open-shoved the fourth hand. "I don't know, I am so bad," Sahamies said and then called it off for around 2,600,000 chips.

Sahamies: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}
O'Dwyer: {8-Spades}{9-Spades}

The flop {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} immediately improved O'Dwyer and he held onto that lead with the {2-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river. Sahamies is eliminated in second place for €220,970 while O'Dwyer ships yet another High Roller Event and shiny EPT trophy!
