Steve O’Dwyer Eliminated in 2nd Place (£72,900)
Steve O’Dwyer, bolstered by that latest double-up, moved all-in pre-flop with [TsTh] and was called by Luc Greenwood with [KcTd].
O’Dwyer was a big favorite with the made pair and Greenwood only having one higher card to hope for, especially after the [6d6s7h] flop. But the turn of [Kd] saw Greenwood take the lead and the [5h] river ended the tournament.
Steve O’Dwyer finished as runner-up for £72,800 after that dramatic exit of Robert Flink in third place saw him ladder up for more than £31,000 of extra winnings. That’s a few cups of Earl Grey at London’s tea rooms, while Luc Greenwood wins only his second career title and gets this High Roller series off to the most spectacular of starts. Having come into play as a marginal chip leader, the chips swung this way and that, but he took the lead back right when it mattered most to claim the title.
We’ll have a full recap of the action along with words from our latest winner, Luc Greenwood, here very soon.
