O'Dwyer Busts from Unlucky Seat

Level 23 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Alex Kulev opened to 100,000 and action folded around to short-stacked Steve O'Dwyer, who tank-min-raised to 150,000 and left himself with 50,000 behind. When it got back to Kulev, he moved all in and O'Dwyer called.

"Good luck," Kulev said as with his previous all-ins.

"Thank you," O'Dwyer replied with a smile, despite some chatter about it being an unlucky seat. "I'm still here, ain't I?"

Steve O'Dwyer: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Alex Kulev: {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}

O'Dwyer was a favorite going in with his superior kicker and things were looking good when the flop came {q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The {10-Clubs} on the turn brought chop-outs for Kulev, but then the {4-Diamonds} on the river was a knife in the gut as it gave Kulev two pair.

Kulev was pushed the pot as O'Dwyer made his exit, two places off of the money. The remaining members of the table then concurred that it was, in fact, an unlucky seat.

Eveslage Doubles With Cowboys

Level 23 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Rui Ferreira has been applying maximum bubble pressure and continued to do so as he jammed into the blinds from the button. Chad Eveslage called off for 175,000 in the small blind to put himself at risk of bubbling.

Chad Eveslage: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Rui Ferreira: {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Ferreira was monumentally behind and there would be no sickening suck-out as the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} for Eveslage to avoid bubbling.

"I tried," said Ferreira.

"Yes you did!" laughed John Krpan.

The popular BSOP made an appearance at the PCA with the BSOP Bahamas Main Event. That was won by Canada’s Allan Barnes after he defeated Vicente Delgado in heads-up play.

This is the first win for Barnes, and a long time coming after a few deep runs in the Bahamas.

“First of all, me and my wife absolutely love The Bahamas," he told PokerNews in a winner's interview. "It feels very, very good. It’s a monkey off my back.

"I’ve had some cashes down here and I’ve gone deep in some tournaments where I busted out before it really got exciting. This one here is a nice victory.”

Dan Smith: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Joao Vieira: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
