O'Dwyer Stacks McLaughlin

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

In a pot worth 250,000, Brett McLaughlin checked the 6539 turn from the big blind to Steve O'Dwyer in early position. O'Dwyer fired a bet of 160,000, which McLaughlin raised all-in for 650,000.

O'Dwyer spent some moments in the tank before he shrugged and tossed in calling chips.

Brett McLaughlin: 96 All in
Steve O'Dwyer: 66

McLaughlin clapped his hands when he revealed his cards, but his two pair was drawing very thin against O'Dwyer's set. The 4 river did not provide McLaughlin with an out, resulting in his exit.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to slowroll you," O'Dwyer apologized as he raked in the chips.

McLaughlin took no offense and said some goodbyes to his former tablemates before picking up his payout.

Toole Can't Fade Flush Draw

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Valentin Cristea opened to 60,000 in the cutoff before facing an all-in for 245,000 from Andrew Toole in the small blind. Cristea toiled with his decision but decided to flick in the call.

Andrew Toole: A9 All in
Valentin Cristea: A6

The 1057 saw Cristea pick up plenty of equity, and when the 4 saw him take an insurmountable lead, Toole stood up from his seat, ready to leave.

The J completed the board, and Toole headed out of the tournament area.

Dynes Keeps Blasting

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Seeing a raise to 60,000 ahead of him, Vincent Dynes three-bet to 165,000 from the small blind. The action was back in the initial raiser, Tudor Bartha, who called.

The dealer spread a 107K flop, and when Dynes continued for 250,000, Bartha returned his cards to the dealer.

Too Many Outs for Burke

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ciaran Burke committed his last 375,000 from the small blind and was quickly called by Valentin Imperatore in the big blind.

Ciaran Burke: K3 All in
Valentin Imperatore: A5

Burke flopped a flush draw on J64, but Imperatore's ace-high remained best on the 89 runout to take down the pot.

After a series of betting on a 568 flop, Stephen Kehoe moved all in, and Ian Simpson called, risking his tournament life.

Stephen Kehoe: 55

There was no help for Simpson on the 3 turn, nor the 7 river, seeing the former champion eliminated.
