Talbot Eliminates Chen

Level 10 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Andrew Chen moved all in from middle position for not too many chips (though we missed how much it exactly was as it all went so quick) and Parket Talbot moved all in over the top from the small blind. The big blind folded and Chen showed his {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}. "That's a very good hand" Talbot jokingly said as he showed his {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

The {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} gave Chen top set but the {J-Spades} on the turn spoiled his double up party. The {6-Diamonds} on the river didn't pair the board and so Chen made his exit.

Besides Chen, the following players have also recently departed the tournament:

Kings for Adams Against Mateos

Level 10 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Max Silver raised to 11,000 and Parker Talbot called from his direct left before Timothy Adams moved all in from the button for 89,500.

Adrian Mateos, in the big blind, eventually moved all in as well and both Silver and Talbot folded their hands.

Adams: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Mateos: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Adams found himself a double up.

Mateos Takes Chips From Silver, Busts Astapau

Level 9 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

On a board of {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} Adrian Mateos moved all in from the hijack for 95,500. Max Silver on the button wasn't too happy about that, but did call in the end. Mateos showed {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Silver had to show his {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and mucked.

The next hand Mateos opened again, this time to 11,000. Parker Talbot made the call and Anton Astapau in the blinds shoved all in for 116,000. Mateos reshoved and Talbot folded. Astapau showed {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} while Mateos had {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Astapau made his exit.

Royal Flush For Steve O'Dwyer!

Level 9 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

In all my years of live reporting I've never seen a Royal Flush with my own eyes while covering a tournament, but just now none other than Super High Roller champions Steve O'Dwyer managed to hit one.

The board showed {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} when Thomas Muehloecker checked to Steve O'Dwyer who bet 11,000 and the Austrian pro called.

On the turn the {5-Spades} hit and Muehloecker check-called another 40,000.

The river brought the {J-Diamonds} and now Muehloecker lead out for 40,000, after which O'Dwyer paused before raising his opponent all in.

Muehloecker folded, and O'Dwyer showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, for a royal flush.

"That's the second time ever I've had that," O'Dwyer said, as players made fun of his run-good in tournaments.
