Seat 2: Steve O'Dwyer (2,450,000)
It feels as though Steve O'Dwyer makes a super high roller final table every other week, and this event is no different with O'Dwyer entering Day 3 with 2.45 million in his stack.
A former resident of the United States, O'Dwyer now resides overseas in Europe where he can actively play online poker without restriction.
In January of this year, O'Dwyer scored first place in the 2015 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $100,000 Super High Roller. He earned $1.872 million for that victory and propelled his live tournament winnings over $9 million at the time. That was the largest live event score for O'Dwyer, but he's got plenty of other big ones to go along with it.
In November 2014, O'Dwyer took first in the Asia-Pacific Poker Tour Asia Championship of Poker for over $1.8 million. He's also a champion of the European Poker Tour Grand Final Main Event in 2013. There he earned a top prize of €1.224 million.
Since his huge win that kicked off the year, O'Dwyer has won another $978,136 from live tournaments. That doesn't include what he's going to win here, either. He's earned three more six-figure cashes in between his PCA win and this event, including a €528,700 third-place result in the 2015 EPT Grand Final €25,500 High Roller.
All told, O'Dwyer now boasts over $10 million in live tournament earnings.
