O'Dwyer Gets Paid in Massive Blind Battle
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Around 135,000 was already in the middle as Steve O'Dwyer and Daniel Erlandsson went heads-up to the turn in a blind versus blind confrontation with the board showing 5?K?5?Q?.
O'Dwyer had built up such a towering stack of chips he had to reach nearly above his head to grab the blue 5,000 chips at the top as he bet 60,000. Erlandsson called and the 4? fell on the river.
Erlandsson checked to O'Dwyer who bet another 180,000. Erlandsson again called and O'Dwyer showed K?8? for a rivered flush to win the pot and climb above 2,000,000.
