[€25,000 Super High Roller] Steve O'Dwyer Eliminated

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Some time ago, Steve O'Dwyer made his exit from the Super High Roller. He fell at the hands of Jean-Noël Thorel.

O'Dwyer opened under the gun and saw Schemion (button) and Thorel (big blind) both call. The flop came {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Thorel checked to O'Dwyer. The Irishman, living in Amsterdam, bet 3,500. Schemion folded but Thorel moved all in, putting O'Dwyer to the test for his last 20,000 or so.

O'Dwyer called with {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and needed to improve to stay alive as Thorel tabled {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The {8-Hearts} on the turn was the last card O'Dwyer wanted to see, the {9-Hearts} on the river only improved Thorel further.

Down to five players with three getting paid.
