Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer and Connor Drinan saw a board of {3-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Spades}{k-Hearts} for the minimum from the blinds, and O'Dwyer bet 80,000. Drinan called in position, and the two saw a {2-Diamonds} fall. O'Dwyer bet 210,000, and Drinan tanked a long while before putting in a call.

"Two," O'Dwyer announced, flipping {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Drinan mucked.

Drinan Takes One From O'Dwyer

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer just limped from the small blind and Connor Drinan tanked for a bit before checking.

The flop brought out {Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and O'Dwyer bet 90,000, Drinan called.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and O'Dwyer bet another 220,000, Drinan called once more.

On the river the {J-Diamonds} hit and O'Dwyer checked to Drinan who moved all in. O'Dwyer snap-folded and Drinan picked up another pot after having seem two of his shoves gone uncalled.

A High Five Saves Drinan's Tournament Life

Level 21 : 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Connor Drinan

Connor Drinan raised all in for 1.3 million under the gun and Isaac Haxton hit the tank for more than a minute before calling from the button. Both blinds folded and the cards were turned up.

Haxton: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Drinan: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

It was a flip, but not after the flop came down {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Haxton paired his jack and took a commanding lead; in fact, Drinan needed one of the two remaining fives in the deck to stay alive. The {A-Spades} turn wasn't it, but the {5-Hearts} river was.

"Wow," Haxton said while Drinan sat motionless.

Drinan Takes from O'Dwyer

Level 21 : 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Connor Drinan raised to 240,000 from the button and Steve O'Dwyer called from the big blind to see a {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop. O'Dwyer then check-called a bet of 250,000 before both players checked the {J-Clubs} turn. When the {7-Clubs} completed the board on the river, O'Dwyer checked and then called when Drinan bet 500,000.

Drinan tabled the {k-Spades}{7-Hearts} for jacks and sevens, which prompted O'Dwyer to muck.

Luca Crippled After Painful Flop

Level 22 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer moved all in from the button for 1.84 million and after Connor Drinan folded, Ivan Luca asked for a count. The man from Argentina hit the tank for over a minute and then spiked in a call.

Luca: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
O'Dwyer: {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

It was a good call by Luca, who had O'Dwyer dominated. Unfortunately for him, his lead was short lived as the flop came down {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} to give O'Dwyer a pair of sixes. Much to the dismay of Luca's rail, the {10-Clubs} blanked on the turn followed by the {4-Clubs} on the river to give O'Dwyer the double.
