O'Dwyer At It Again

Level 10 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Steve O'Dwyer, currently the number one ranked player in the world and already up almost a million this year after having won the $50,000 High Roller at the PCA, is at it again. He has almost 400,000 in chips, though he said he hadn't really scored a double up. "I just knocked out the player in that seat twice" O'Dwyer said with a smile.

He's still able to lose pots, though they're mostly not that big. Just now he opened to 5,300 from the cutoff and he called Andrew Lichtenberger's 23,400 shove from the small blind. O'Dwyer reluctantly called with {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and was dominated by "LuckyChewy"'s {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Hopes of a high board resulting in a chop vanished after the flop came {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn and {K-Diamonds} on the river were blanks and Lichtenberger doubled.
