Steve O'Dwyer Eliminated
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
In a four-way limped pot, Steve O'Dwyer saw a 
flop from the blinds for free. The exact earlier flop action was unknown, but Steve O'Dwyer had a T-5,000 chip in front of him. Paul Tedeschi had raised to 16,000, O'Dwyer went all in for 27,500 and Tedeshi called it off.
Paul Tedeschi: 
Steve O'Dwyer: 
O'Dwyer was looking for straight and flush outs against Tedeschi's set, but the 
on the turn slammed that door shut. The meaningless 
river sealed it for O'Dwyer, who already racked up two six-figure scores earlier this week.

Colman Gaining Early Momentum
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
A sight the other players surely won't want to see is Dan Colman chipping up, but that's exactly what's happening as the famed high roller came in under 15 big blinds but has about 40 now. In one recent pot, he checked from the blinds on a 
flop and then check-raised to 4,500 after his opponent put in a bet of 1,800. That player conceded the pot, and Colman could be building toward another big run to add to his $28 million in cashes.
