Online Qualifier O'Dwyer Gets Shove Through

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Daryl McAleenan made it 600,000 in the cutoff. It folded to Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind, who three-bet all in for 5,600,000.

McAleenan gave it some thought, but ended up letting his hand go to forfeit the pot to O'Dwyer.

"I qualified for 100 euros, I'm just trying to make some pay jumps," O'Dwyer laughed, although he was not joking about his status as an online qualifier.

The action returned to Dunphy, who returned his cards to the dealer.

Three Twos for Twomey

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Matthew Twomey
Matthew Twomey

Narcis Nedelcu raised his button to 700,000. Matthew Twomey called in the small blind, after which the 7102 flop was checked by both players.

Twomey checked again on the 8 turn. Nedelcu retook the initiative with a bet of 1,200,000, which Twomey called.

The 7 river saw Twomey lead out for 2,300,000. Nedelcu snap-called, but his AA were no match for the 22 of Twomey, who had flopped a set and rivered a full house.

Ferrari Doubles Through Zheng

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Catching the action on a 96K flop, Manuel Ferrari checked from the big blind to Weijie Zheng in the hijack. Zhen placed a bet of 425,000, which Ferrari raised to 900,000.

Zheng spent some time in the tank before putting his opponent all-in, and Ferrari rapidly called off his 3,325,000 chips.

Manuel Ferrari: J9 All in
Weijie Zheng: 108

The J turn brought Zheng some extra outs, but Ferrari's hand remained best on the K river to secure the double-up.

Gilbert Black

When the action folded to Gilbert Black on the button, he moved all in for roughly 3,000,000. Jarkko Suokas called in the big blind, and Black was officially at risk.

Gilbert Black: Q4 All in
Jarkko Suokas: A10

Suokas hit the 2A6 flop hard, and the A turn even harder.

Black was already drawing dead, but Suokas improved to a flush on the 4 river regardless.

Isaac Barker opened the action with a raise to 600,000 from early position, which gathered calls from Matthew Twomey on the button and Ali Abdulzahra in the big blind.

The dealer spread a 10107 flop, and action checked through.

The A turn joined the board, and the action checked through once again.

The dealer completed the board with 8, which prompted Abdulzhara to lead for 3,925,000. Barker called off his remaining stack of 3,800,000, and Twomey folded.

Abdulzhara flipped over 64, which had run into the full house of Barker, who had AA.

Papazois continued for 550,000 on the 3A2 flop, and again, Gisolfi called.

The dealer added the 7 turn to the board, and Papazois slowed down, checking over to Gisolfi. Gisolfi responded by putting out a bet of 800,000. Papazois offered no resistance and returned his cards to the dealer.
