Level 3 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ihar Soika raised to 3,600 and Tobias Reinkemeier three-bet to 11,000 after which the Belarusian player folded. On the very next hand Soika raised again to 3,600 and this time it was Steve O'Dwyer who three-bet to 10,300.

The action folded back to Soika, and he moved all in after a while to put O'Dwyer at risk. O'Dwyer called right away for 45,500 total, and the showdown went as following.

Soika: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}
O'Dwyer: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The flop brought {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, and O'Dwyer said, "Faster, faster" to the dealer, looking to speed up the showdown.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and the river the {Q-Hearts}, and O'Dwyer doubled up.

O'Dwyer added that he would much rather see RFID cards and have the dealer press a button to see who would win the hand.

"It's just too stressful," the winner of last night's Super High Roller said with a smile.
