Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Just a few days ago, it was Thomas Boivin up against Steve O'Dwyer in the heads-up battle for the first €25,000 Single-Day High Roller title of the festival. On that occasion it was Boivin who was victorious. But in their most recent encounter, it was O'Dwyer who came out best.

The board was down , and the pot was around 50,000. Both players checked and saw the river.

Boivin then bet 13,000 from the big blind and O'Dwyer sat patiently as his shot clock timed down to just one second remaining before he moved his 55,000 stack into the middle.

Boivin contemplated his next move for close to 15 seconds but ultimately gave up and allowed O'Dywer the win this time around.
