O'Dwyer Out, O'Dwyer Back In Again

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 2,000 from under the gun. Mihails Nikitins, in the big blind, three-bet to 16,000, a considerable portion of O'Dwyer's stack. O'Dwyer tanked before moving all in for around 6,000 more and Nikitins snap-called

"Are you trapping me?" asked O'Dwyer as the cards were tabled.

Steve O'Dwyer: 66 All in
Mihails Nikitins: AK

O'Dwyer was ahead in this flip until the A5K flop reversed their fates. The 9 turn and 5 river changed nothing and O'Dwyer was sent to the rail.

O'Dwyer reentered the tournament from his phone before the next hand had been dealt.

Camosci Calls O'Dwyer's River Bluff to Double Up

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Enrico Camosci

It may have been a quiet start in terms of number of entries, but that didn't stop the few high rollers at the tables from ramping up the action early on as Steve O'Dwyer and Enrico Camosci became locked in a postflop battle that would ultimately lead to a double up.

O'Dwyer open-raised to 2,500 from the button and Camosci called in the big blind.

The flop came 5J8 and Camosci checked. O'Dwyer made a pot sized bet of 7,500 and Camosci responded with a check-raise to 16,000. O'Dwyer then reraised to 30,500 and Camosci called.

The turn was the 5 and Camosci led out with a small bet of 7,500, which O'Dwyer called.

On the 3 river, Camosci led out again for 10,000 and O'Dwyer shoved his stack in the middle. Camosci went into the tank, his head rested on his arms as he thought through the hand. He eventually made the call for 59,000 and the cards were revealed.

O'Dwyer had K2 for a missed flush draw that he'd turned into a bluff. Camosci turned over J8 for two pair, jacks and eights to win the pot and double up his stack, leaving O'Dwyer short.

Steve O'Dwyer limped in from the small blind and Vladas Tamasauskas, in the big blind, checked his option.

The 6A4 flop saw O'Dwyer check and then call a bet of 1,000 from Tamasauskas.

The 8 turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Tamasauskas sized up to 5,000.

The 8 river prompted a third check from O'Dwyer. Tamasauskas sized up with a bet of 15,000. O'Dwyer tanked for some time before making the call. Tamasauskas rolled over 105 for ten-high, while O'Dwyer raked in this sizable pot with K5 for king-high.

Players will begin the tournament with a starting stack of 100,000 chips and blinds at 500/1,000/1,000. The turbo format tournament features blind levels of 30 minutes, with a 15-minute break scheduled at the end of Level 4 and 7.

A shot clock will be in play from the beginning, which grants players 15 seconds to act on their first decision and 30 seconds thereafter. This will be supplemented by four time bank cards and players will be given one extra time bank at the start of every odd level.

Late registration for the event remains open until the start of Day 2, which takes place at noon local time on Sunday, December 15th. Players can take unlimited re-entries on their way to victory in the €10,200 NLHE event, with between 13-15 percent of the field expected to make the money.
