Keating Eliminated By O'Dwyer

Ollie Garland

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

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 22,000, from the hijack. "I'm not afraid of you anymore!" Alex Keating announced as he defended in the big blind.

Keating checked at the sight of the 7♠9♦Q♦ flop. O'Dwyer bet out 12,000 and Keating moved all in for approximately 120,000. O'Dwyer snap-called.

Alex Keating: 8♦4♦
Steve O'Dwyer: A♣9♠

The K♣ turn and 2♠ river didn't materialize a flush for Keating and he was eliminated by O'Dwyer's pair of nines.

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

Viktor Ustimov moved all in for 126,000 in middle position as action folded to Nariman Yaghmai, who quickly called to put Ustimov at risk.

Viktor Ustimov: A♠J♦
Nariman Yaghmai: A♣Q♦

Ustimov found himself dominated heading to the 3♣8♦7♣5♥2♦ board. Yaghmai's queen-kicker earned him the pot and sent Ustimov to join the long line at the payout desk.

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

Ilia Pavlov opened to 20,000 from early position. Then Alex Keating in the cutoff moved all-in for 43,000 chips. Steve O'Dwyer called in the big blind, but he folded after Pavlov four-bet all-in.

Alex Keating: A♣K♣
Ilia Pavlov: 9♥9♦

"Dinga Yessah!" Keating exclaimed when he hit a pair on the flop K♥4♦6♥. He was still very expressive on the turn J♦ and the river 7♥, which gave him a triple up.

"Back In the game," he said, before taking the pot.

Heads-up on a flop of 2♣4♦K♦, Markkos Ladev bet 20,000 from under the gun and Kuljinder Sidhu called in the big blind.

The turn came the K♣ and Ladev bet another 50,000. Sidhu again called as the Q♣ fell on the river.

Sidhu then moved all in for around 150,000 and Ladev snap-folded.

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

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 20,000 from early position when Nikolai Mamut was automatically all in from the big blind. Benjamin Winsor then jammed in his 95,000 stack from middle position and the action folded back to O'Dwyer, who made the call.

Nikolai Mamut: A♥2♥
Benjamin Winsor: A♠J♥
Steve O'Dwyer: A♦A♣

"I have aces," O'Dwyer casually announced.

"I think I'm the favorite," Mamut responded.

The K♠K♥4♥ flop gave Mamut's statement some credit, but he missed the flush draw on the 9♠4♣ runout, and O'Dwyer's aces held as he racked up two eliminations.
