O'Dwyer Chips Up Through Luca

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer just won back-to-back pots, one off Isaac Haxton and one off chip leader Ivan Luca. First O'Dwyer raised on the button to 120,000 and Haxton defended the big blind after quite some pondering.

The flop brought {Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Haxton check-folded to a bet of 95,000.

On the second one O'Dwyer raised to 120,000 under the gun and Luca called from the big blind.

The flop came down {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Luca check-called a bet of 160,000.

On the turn the {10-Clubs} hit and both players checked. The river brought the {K-Diamonds} and Luca check-folded to a bet that looked like 230,000.

Luca Leads the Turn

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Ivan Luca defended his big blind from a 140,000 raise by Connor Drinan on the button. Luca check-called 125,000 on the flop but came out betting with 320,000 and the board reading {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{a-Spades} on the turn. Drinan slid in calling chips, and Luca verbalized a check on the {6-Hearts} river. Drinan said he was all in after about two minutes for what looked to be about 600,000, and Luca snap-folded.

Break

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The players have decided to take a 10-minute break, no deal is being discussed at the moment.

"No Sense of Fun"

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Isaac Haxton completed the blind, and Ivan Luca peeked at his cards then raised to 140,000 in the big blind. Haxton called, and the two went heads up to a {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop. Haxton checked and called 150,000. The turn was a {q-Diamonds}, which both players checked. Haxton checked a third time on the {a-Clubs} river, and Luca softly announced an all-in wager to put Haxton at risk for over the size of the pot.

After about a three-minute tank that stretched into the new level, Haxton said something inaudible to Luca, who remained motionless. Haxton then folded.

"Show me a bluff," Haxton urged him. "It's fun to show bluffs."

Luca declined to show.

"No sense of fun," Haxton said.

Erik Seidel Eliminated in 5th Place ($301,080)

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

Erik Seidel raised from the button to 100,000 and Ivan Luca called from the big blind. The flop came down {2-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Luca check-called a bet of 120,000.

On the turn the {10-Clubs} hit and Luca checked again, after which Seidel threw out a bet of what looked like 290,000. We didn't get a confirmation on the bet, as Luca moved all in and Seidel called right away.

Seidel sighed as he saw Luca's {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}, and his {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} was far behind.

On the river the {3-Diamonds} hit and Seidel was sent to the rail in fifth place for $301,080.
