High Rollers Are Not For the Faint of Heart

Nível 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer just doubled up on the bubble, and he theatrically reached for his heart after winning a massive coin flip.

O'Dwyer moved all in from the cutoff for 437,000 chips and Bryn Kenney moved all in over the top right away from the small blind.

O'Dwyer:
Kenney:

The board ran out and O'Dwyer raked in a massive double up, as we're still one away from the money.

"How was that runout," Scott Seiver asked," Was it fast enough?"

O'Dwyer, seemingly dazed, said, "I guess it was alright."

Seiver started laughing and said, "He's not even on this planet right now," after going through the big rush of this big hand.

"I think Steve almost had a heart attack," Seiver continued, "He might need a doctor."

"This Steve seems a lot more calm right now," Isaac Haxton joked about the O'Dwyer figurine he has sitting next to his chips.

"Yeah," Nick Petrangelo chimed in, "At least that Steve's acting as if he's been here before," and the entire table burst out in laughter.

O'Dwyer's now in a great chip position while Kenney was knocked way down, as hand for hand play continues.

Kenny "kenny05" Smaron Falls Two Shy of the Money

[user153638]

Nível 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Kenny "kenny05" Smaron, who won the European Poker Tour Prague €10,300 High Roller last month for €595,500, was just eliminated in 13th place at the hands of Ivan Luca.

It happened when Luca, who has been opening most hands, raised to 48,000 from early position. Smaron responded by moving all in for 162,000 from the button, the blinds both folded, and Luca took his time before making the call.

Luca:
Smaron:

Smaron was well out in front, but the flop made things interesting by giving Luca a flush draw, which he hit on the turn. However, Smaron was not drawing dead as either a ten or ace would give him a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the blanked on the river.

O'Dwyer Doubles Through Petrangelo

Nível 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised before the flop to 60,000 and Steve O'Dwyer moved all in from the big blind for 241,000. Petrangelo called right away, and O'Dwyer didn't look happy when the cards were turned face up.

Petrangelo:
O'Dwyer:

The dealer quickly put out on the table, and O'Dwyer complimented the dealer with the fast runout.

"I was sweating that very much, thanks for doing it quickly," O'Dwyer said, as he's a big proponent of the "rip the bandaid" type dealers when it comes to all-in showdowns.

Seidel Finishes Off Busquet

[user153638]

Nível 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

After Olivier Busquet lost a big pot to Scott Seiver, he was left with just over 100,000.

He managed to get that in after action folded to him in the small blind, and Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel, who was in the big, opted to look him up.

Busquet:
Seidel:

The flop paired both player, but Seidel's kings kept him out in front. The turn was no help to Busquet, and neither was the river. With that, Busquet took his leave in 14th place.
