Steve O'Dwyer Eliminated

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Steve O'Dwyer and JC Alvarado got it all in preflop with nearly equal stacks of around 100,000.

Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
JC Alvarado: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

Alvarado's pocket jacks held up on {8-Spades}{K-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, leaving O'Dwyer with just three big blinds. O'Dwyer posted his big blind, defended against Dietrich's Fast open, but check-folded on a {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop to leave himself with a mere blind behind.

In the next hand, O'Dwyer won with {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} against Fast's {A-Spades}{6-Spades}. However, there wasn't a comeback in the cards as he got it in with {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} against Yan Shing Tsang's {A-Spades}{4-Spades} shortly after. The board ran out {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{6-Spades} and O'Dwyer was out.
