Steve O'Dwyer finished fifth in EPT London for £146,000 last March while his opponent Christopher Frank busted just before him in sixth place for £112,000. These two players are sitting at the same table right before the money bubble today and O'Dwyer got the best of Frank once more.
We picked up the action when the board read , and Frank check-called a bet worth 23,000. On the river the
hit and Frank checked again. O'Dwyer bet 75,000 this time and the just 18-year old German tanked for a solid two minutes before making the call.
O'Dwyer tabled for the flopped nuts and took down this big pot. O'Dwyer is on pace for yet another deep EPT run after final tabling three earlier events.

On the board, Paul Volpe checked to Andrew Pantling, who checked behind to see the
fall on the river. After Volpe checked again, Pantling bet 33,000. Volpe took a few moments, then check-raised to 108,000. Pantling went into the tank.
It is interesting to note that last night, Volpe checked the river on a board with paired aces against Scott Palmer holding the top full house, planning to check-raise. Pantling was strong to the call this time, but Volpe didn't have a full house. He had the instead, and Pantling's
was good.
