O'Dwyer Sends Antonius to the Rail

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Patrik Antonius
Patrik Antonius

Stefan Wolzak raised from the button to 700 and Steve O'Dwyer three-bet to 2,500. This was more than enough reason for Patrik Antonius to move all in for his last 10,500. Wolzak quickly folded, but O'Dwyer snap-called.

Patrik Antonius: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and O'Dwyer secured the pot on the turn.

Late registration is still open and Antonius has the option to reenter the tournament. If one player is left and the heads-up comes to an end the tournament will be finished and the winner will be going home with all the marbles.

Chips to O'Dwyer

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

The flop read {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and Stefan Wolzak bet 2,600 from the big blind. Steve O'Dwyer called from the button.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and both players checked. They did the same on the {K-Clubs} river and they opened up their hands.

Stefan Wolzak: {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

O'Dwyer won with his ace and chips up a bit. He is almost back to the starting stack of 30,000.

Antonius Sends Chips to Wolzak

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Stefan Wolzak

The flop read {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Patrik Antonius bet 400 from the big blind. Button Stefan Wolzak raised to 1,300 and Antonius called.

The {3-Hearts} turn was added to the turn and Antonius lead out with a bet of 2,600. Wolzak called again and they went heads-up to the river.

The dealer put down the {J-Clubs} as the fifth community card and both players checked this time.

Antonius showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a busted gutshot-straight draw, and Wolzak took the pot down with {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

No Hurry

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

The players are for sure not in a hurry. The structure of the tournament is excellent and everybody has been winning pots. The three players at the table, Steve O'Dwyer, Patrik Antonius, and Stefan Wolzak, all seem to get along very well.

Wolzak and O'Dwyer were drinking Limoncello together and Holland Casino brought an entire platter full of delicious food for the players of the €25,500 Super High Roller to enjoy.

O'Dwyer Climbing Back Up

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Steve O'Dwyer is slowly but surely grinding back to the 30,000 he started with. He just won a couple of small pots to rise over the 20,000 again.

Stefan Wolzak also won a pot when he bet about the size of the pot on the {6-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Clubs} board. The pot had a little over 3,000 in it and Wolzak bet 3,100. Patrik Antonius called, but Wolzak won the pot by showing {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Small Pots; O'Dwyer the Short Stack

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

The players started in the 100/100 level without an ante and the level just went up to 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. They all started with 300 big blinds, but Steve O'Dwyer already lost over 110 big blinds in the first level. Stefan Wolzak and Patrik Antonius divided his chips between them.

O'Dwyer raised in a hand from the button to 400 and Antonius called from the small blind, as did Wolzak from the big blind.

The flop fell {J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Antonius took over the lead with a bet of 600. Wolzak raised to 1,500 and that made both O'Dwyer and Antonius fold.
