O'Dwyer Bombs the Turn

Jeremy Geist

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Christos Fatta opened in early position to 16,000. It then folded to Steve O'Dwyer in the cutoff who didn't think for long before putting in a three-bet to 60,000. Fatta snap called and they were off to a flop heads up.

The 5♣Q♦4♣ flop hit the felt and action was checked over to O'Dwyer who down-bet to 35,000. Fatta called.

The K♥ landed on the turn and it was checked to O'Dwyer again. He took a moment, gathered some chips, and put out a large bet of 145,000.

Fatta went into the tank for about a minute before returning his cards to the dealer. O'Dwyer scooped and added some chips to his already sizable stack.

Steve O'Dwyer	615,000 128,000	128,000

O'Dwyer Hits The River

Maxime Taldir

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On 8♦10♠A♠3♥ with already 400,000 in the pot, Steve O'Dwyer on the button went into the tank after Christos Fatta in the cutoff moved all in for 240,000 chips. And eventually, O'Dwyer called.

Christos Fatta: A♣8♣
Steve O'Dwyer: A♥Q♥

Fatta had two pair and was on his way to double up. But the terrible Q♠ landed on the river, giving the best hand to O'Dwyer, who has more than 900,000 chips now.

Luo Goes For It All

Jeremy Geist

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Shuang Luo opened in early position to 17,000 before it folded to Boris Angelov in the big blind. He called and the two players were off to a flop heads up.

The 2♠3♥J♠ flop landed and action checked to Luo who continued for 20,000. Angelov called.

The 7♥ landed on the turn and it was checked over to Luo again. She went into the tank for a moment and then announced she was all in. Angelov thought it over for only a moment before sending his cards to the muck.

Luo pulled in the chips and gained some life in the tournament as players continue to hit the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Boris Angelov	870,000 -94,000	-94,000

Shuang Luo	280,000 -187,000	-187,000

Flush For Zhou

Maxime Taldir

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In the cutoff, Leonid Orman shoved with a little bit more than five blinds. In the big blind, Quan Zhou asked for the count, and called.

Leonid Orman: 10♦9♦
Quan Zhou: A♥Q♠

Leonid hit two pair on the flop 9♥10♥6♥. Standing up, he saw the 6♦ being revealed on the turn. But the river 4♥ wasn't the one he wanted, as it completed Zhou's flush. Finishing 274th, Orman wins $2,225.

Wheeler Puts In the Four-Bet

Jeremy Geist

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Silviu Baltateanu opened in middle position to 20,000 before getting three-bet to 62,000 by Giorgiy Skhulukhiya on the button. Jason Wheeler was in the small blind and went into the tank for only a moment before four-betting all in to the tune of 132,000.

Baltateanu quickly got out of the way and action was back on Skhulukhiya who tossed in the extra 60,000 and they were off to a full board with the cards on their backs.

Jason Wheeler: K♥K♦
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: K♠10♣

The full board ran out 5♠5♦J♥6♥6♠ and there was no sweat for Wheeler on his way to a pure double-up.
