O'Dwyer Gets Paid in Massive Blind Battle
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Around 135,000 was already in the middle as Steve O'Dwyer and Daniel Erlandsson went heads-up to the turn in a blind versus blind confrontation with the board showing 5♣K♥5♦Q♦.
O'Dwyer had built up such a towering stack of chips he had to reach nearly above his head to grab the blue 5,000 chips at the top as he bet 60,000. Erlandsson called and the 4♦ fell on the river.
Erlandsson checked to O'Dwyer who bet another 180,000. Erlandsson again called and O'Dwyer showed K♦8♦ for a rivered flush to win the pot and climb above 2,000,000.
