We missed the first raise, but we did see 8,500 in front of Steve O'Dwyer in the hijack just now. The cutoff, button and both blinds had folded and the action was back on initial raiser Igor Yaroshevskyy. The man from the Ukraine four bet to 21,500 and not much later O'Dwyer had 50,000 in front of him as a five bet. Yaroshevskyy shoved all in for 161,900 and O'Dwyer reluctantly called.
He sighed and he rolled his eyes a little bit as he saw he was in need of a lot of help with his as Yaroshevskyy showed .
The on the flop guaranteed O'Dwyer at least a sweat till the river as there was no card that could pop up on the turn that would leave him drawing dead. So the hope for the suck out on O'Dwyers parts was still alive after the hit the turn, but it vanished into thin air with the on the river. O'Dwyer paired up but it wasn't enough.
O'Dwyer counted out 161,900 from his stack, sighed one last time, and continued with 34,100.

Apparently Steve O'Dwyer lost another pot as he had just about 4,000 left when we walked up to his table to see how he was doing. So wasn't doing too good, so much was clear.
He waited two more hands and then went all in for his last 3,500 under the gun. Sam Greenwood made the call in the cutoff and all other players folded.
"I have a real bad hand" said O'Dwyer. He wasn't lying: . Greenwood showed his and the board ran out to see O'Dwyer eliminated from the tournament.

The flop came down and all three players checked. The on the turn saw Shorr lead out for 4,000 which only interested Chen as Wilf folded his hand.
After the completed the board, Shorr instantly threw out 20,000 in chips which is exactly what Chen had remaining in his stack.
Chen tanked for several minutes and agonised over his decision. He picked up his chips and motioned to call but pulled back on several occasions.

Aido left the table without saying much. "Now he hates me. I busted him in another high roller too" said Lykov to his neighbor as soon as Aido was out of range.
The action folded around to Geoffrey Mooney on the button who raised it up to 3,500. Atanas Malinov was on the small blind and made it 9,200 which forced a fold from the player on the big blind. Mooney made the quick call before both players watched the flop come down .
