Steve ODwyer, in the big blind, called a 35,000 bet from Byron Kaverman in the small blind, and the dealer placed the flop onto the felt. Kaverman continued with a 25,000 bet, and O'Dwyer called. Both players checked the river, Kaverman showed and lost to O'Dwyer's .
Byron Kaverman made it 27,000 under the gun and two positions down it was Steve O'Dwyer making the call. Aleksandr Denisov on the button squeezed to 79,000 and both blinds and Kaverman folded. O'Dwyer had way bigger plans and moved in for an additional 269,000. Denisov tanked for a bit before he called it off.

The board ran out and Denisov said good bye to a good portion of his chips. O'Dwyer went into the break with the full double up.
Dario Sammartino opened for 27,000 from the button and Anthony Zinno defended from the big blind to see a flop. Zinno checked, Sammartino bet 28,000, and Zinno check-raised to 65,000. Sammartino called and then watched Zinno bet a paltry 17,000 on the turn. Sammartino eyed him suspiciously, and then settled on a call.
When the completed the board on the river, Zinno bet 75,000 and Sammartino snap-called. Zinno showed the for a missed flush, and Sammartino rolled over the for a set and the win.
Alex Bilokur, who earlier today busted Jeff Rossiter with ace-queen, tried to do the same to Anthony Zinno. Bilokur opened to 35,000 under the gun and was called by his neighbor Dario Sammartino. Anthony Zinno in the cutoff shoved for 210,000 and action folded around to Bilokur. He moved in as well and Sammartino folded.

Luuk Gieles was on the button and he opened to 36,000. Thomas Muehloecker called in the big blind. Muehloecker check-called a 60,000 bet on the flop and then checked the turn. Gieles upped his bet size to a chunky 215,000, which prompted an insta-fold from Muehloecker.
A short-stacked Aleksandr Denisov shoved all in from early position for his last 174,000 and Sam Greenwood called from the hijack. The rest of the field folded, and Denisov discovered the bad news.
