Level 12 Update: Josh Brikis GoneJul 14, '11 Note: Levels are two hours in length. Players Remaining: 1,476 of 6,865 Blinds: 1,00-2,000 with a 300 ante The Chip Leaders: 1. Guillaume Darcourt — 820,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Matt Matros — 105,000 Notables Eliminated: Josh Brikis Hands: Jean-Robert Bellande Makes Incorrect Laydown With 17,000 in the pot on an A 5 4 K board, Jean-Robert Bellande checked and his opponent bet all in for 20,000. Bellande thought about it and eventually folded the A 3 and was shown the 3 3. Phil Hellmuth Doubles Phil Hellmuth was super short early in the level, but managed to chip up and have his A-K hold versus the A 8 to double to 120,000. Phillip Collins Loses Some Phillip Collins is one of the big stacks in the room, but lost some chips recently after losing with A-10 to K-Q, all in preflop, and 5-5 to K-K to double up another short-stacked opponent. He was down to 210,000 after the two hands. Randall Flowers Doubles Randall Flowers has been grinding a short stack all day, but just got his pocket tens all in preflop against pocket nines. The over pair held and Flowers doubled to 60,000. Peter Jetten Building a Huge Stack Peter Jetten just had his Q-Q hold versus A-K and he is now at 460,000. Josh Brikis Eliminated Josh Brikis was short when he got all his chips in the middle with pocket queens. He unfortunately ran into aces and was gone. Steve O’Dwyer Doubles Steve O’Dwyer was down to about 70,000 when he got his pocket kings to hold against pocket queens for all of his chips. He doubled to 140,000 and now has some ammunition to work with. Anton Ionel Close to 700,000 Anton Ionel was involved in poker’s toughest situation: holding pocket kings when your opponent holds pocket aces. Fortunately for Ionel he flopped a king and was able to double to nearly 700,000. His opponent was left with just 18,000. Poker Tweets: Player Tags: Steve O'Dwyer, Josh Brikis, Anton Ionel |

Level 2 Update: Antonio Esfandiari Hits the RailApr 18, '10 Blinds: 100-200 with a 25 ante Players Remaining: 145 out of 149 Chip Counts: 1. Shawn Buchanan — 180,000 Average Chip Count: 102,000 Notable Eliminations: Antonio Esfandiari Big Hands: Soheil Shamseddin Eliminates Antonio Esfandiari On a flop of AQ4, Antonio Esfandiari fired in a bet of 3,700. The original preflop raiser check-raised to 20,000 and Soheil Shamseddin called. Esfandiari then called off his last 14,000 and the turn was the K. The original raiser bet 30,000 and Shamseddin moved all in for just a few thousand more. His opponent called and showed a set of kings, but Shamseddin held 108 for the flush. Esfandiari then mucked his hand, presumably drawing dead. The river was the 9 and Shamseddin chipped up to 135,000. Henry Tran Busts One On a flop of K77, seat 9 bet and an unknown in seat 4 raised. Henry Tran then reraised to 15,000 and after about a minute in the tank, seat 9 folded. Seat 4 then moved all in for an additional 38,275 and Tran wasted no time before making the call with 76. Seat 4 sheepishly pushed his cards forward face down and gathered his belongings. On his way out the door, the dealer turned up his hand and revealed J10. Tran wanted his hand to be dead since he had mucked and left the room, but the dealer explained that an all-in hand is still live, a rule created to prevent collusion. The turn and river fell 510 and Tran chipped up to 148,000. Despite the dealer’s explanation, however, he continued to question the ruling and had the floor called over, who confirmed the dealer’s ruling. Steve O’Dwyer Takes One From Alexandre Gomes Alexandre Gomes raised to 600 and Steve O’Dwyer reraised to 2,050. Gomes called and the flop came down AA5. Gomes checked and O’Dwyer continued with a bet of 2,700. Gomes called and both players checked the 4 on the turn. The river was the Q and Gomes checked. O’Dwyer decided to bet 5,700 and Gomes quickly mucked. O’Dwyer is now up to 115,000 and Gomes is down to 81,000.

Level 14 Update: Chaos For Steve O'DwyerDec 16, '09 Blinds: 3,000-6,000 with a 500 ante Players Remaining: 46 out of 329 Chip Counts: 1. Joe Elpayaa — 740,000 Average Chip Count: 429,000 Notable Eliminations: Andrew Robl Big Hands: Complete Chaos on Steve O’Dwyer’s Table Okay, see if you can keep up with this one. Steve O’Dwyer raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Tim Davis called. The flop came out 862 and O’Dwyer checked. Davis bet 15,000 and O’Dwyer check-raised to 47,000. Here’s where it gets crazy. Davis made the call and turned over A6, assuming O’Dwyer was all in. O’Dwyer had decided to bet his last 95,000 dark, which Davis didn’t see, nor call. The dealer, completely unaware that there was still pending action, then produced a jack and a four on the turn and river. The floor was called over and the dealer tried to tell her side of the story. Davis was quiet, presumably because he had no idea whether he had won or not, with O’Dwyer’s hand still concealed. O’Dwyer then reported the action and it was ruled that the turn and river would go back into the deck and two new cards would be turned and rivered. After she began shuffling, the table informed the floor that O’Dwyer had bet dark on the turn and that Davis still had to make a decision on whether or not to call the 95,000. The dealer then turned a deuce and Davis decided to call. O’Dwyer showed 1010 and was ahead, but now needed to fade a clean river to double up. The dealer pulled a nine out of the deck for the river, but in the process had forgotten to burn a card. O’Dwyer, clearly emotionally drained by seeing way too many cards try and take down his overpair, just slumped down in his chair, awaiting the true river. The “real” river was the 5 and O’Dwyer doubled up to about 330,000. Andrew Robl Bites the Dust After losing most of his stack in an earlier hand, Andrew Robl was short and looking for a double up. Antonio Esfandiari raised to 17,000 and Robl moved all in for 23,000 in the small blind. Esfandiari called and said, “It was nice playing with you, Robl” as he turned over the 108. Robl showed AQ, but failed to stay alive after the board ran 98569. Esfandiari Gets a Frustrating Chop Antonio Esfandiari raised to 18,000 and Soheil Shamseddin called in the cutoff. Both blinds called as well and the flop came down AQ2. The blinds checked and Esfandiari bet 41,500. Shamseddin called and the blinds folded. The turn was the Q and both players checked. The river was the A and Esfandiari checked. Shamseddin bet 50,000 and Esfandiari raised to 140,000. Shamseddin called and showed A7. Esfandiari showed AJ and both players chopped the pot with aces full. Esfandiari, clearly frustrated by the situation, had the better kicker and would have taken the pot with most river cards. Daniel Alaei Takes Chip Lead, Becomes First Millionaire We didn’t catch the action on the flop, but Daniel Alaei was all in on the turn of a board reading AA64 against Bryan Devonshire’s AQ. Alaei showed AK and the river was the 10 giving him the pot. Devonshire was left with 18,000 and Alaei now has 1,050,000 and the chip lead. Carter King Doubles Through Joe Cassidy Carter King moved all in for his last 85,500 and was called by Joe Cassidy in the blinds. Cassidy showed AJ, but was way behind to King’s aces and drawing dead by the turn. King is now up to about 190,000 in chips.

O’Dwyer shrugged and turned over A6, but lost when the board came J76A4. O’Dwyer was eliminated and exited from the tournament area. He was accompanied by his large contingent of friends and of course all of the remaining justice in the poker world. Level 25 — 50,000-100,000 with a 10,000 ante Seat 1 — Daniel Alaei — 3,180,000 Player Tags: Scotty Nguyen, Steve O'Dwyer Scott Seiver ComedyDec 19, '09 On the very first hand of play, Faraz Jaka opened with a raise and Steve O’Dwyer moved all in. Jaka folded and O’Dwyer took the pot, adding more than 10 percent to his stack. The move got exaggerated applause from O’Dwyer’s supporters, who include the likes of Adam “Roothlus” Levy, Darryll Fish, Bryan Devonshire, what appears to be Isaac Haxton and the boisterous Scott Seiver. On the next hand, O’Dwyer folded and Seiver yelled out during a quiet moment, “Nice folding motion!” The remark got most of the audience to laugh, including O’Dwyer who couldn’t help but crack a smile. EDIT I just noticed that Seiver is currently wearing the same shirt pictured in the photo. Player Tags: Scott Seiver, Steve O'Dwyer |

Level 14 Update: Chaos For Steve O'DwyerDec 16, '09 Blinds: 3,000-6,000 with a 500 ante Players Remaining: 46 out of 329 Chip Counts: 1. Joe Elpayaa — 740,000 Average Chip Count: 429,000 Notable Eliminations: Andrew Robl Big Hands: Complete Chaos on Steve O’Dwyer’s Table Okay, see if you can keep up with this one. Steve O’Dwyer raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Tim Davis called. The flop came out 862 and O’Dwyer checked. Davis bet 15,000 and O’Dwyer check-raised to 47,000. Here’s where it gets crazy. Davis made the call and turned over A6, assuming O’Dwyer was all in. O’Dwyer had decided to bet his last 95,000 dark, which Davis didn’t see, nor call. The dealer, completely unaware that there was still pending action, then produced a jack and a four on the turn and river. The floor was called over and the dealer tried to tell her side of the story. Davis was quiet, presumably because he had no idea whether he had won or not, with O’Dwyer’s hand still concealed. O’Dwyer then reported the action and it was ruled that the turn and river would go back into the deck and two new cards would be turned and rivered. After she began shuffling, the table informed the floor that O’Dwyer had bet dark on the turn and that Davis still had to make a decision on whether or not to call the 95,000. The dealer then turned a deuce and Davis decided to call. O’Dwyer showed 1010 and was ahead, but now needed to fade a clean river to double up. The dealer pulled a nine out of the deck for the river, but in the process had forgotten to burn a card. O’Dwyer, clearly emotionally drained by seeing way too many cards try and take down his overpair, just slumped down in his chair, awaiting the true river. The “real” river was the 5 and O’Dwyer doubled up to about 330,000. Andrew Robl Bites the Dust After losing most of his stack in an earlier hand, Andrew Robl was short and looking for a double up. Antonio Esfandiari raised to 17,000 and Robl moved all in for 23,000 in the small blind. Esfandiari called and said, “It was nice playing with you, Robl” as he turned over the 108. Robl showed AQ, but failed to stay alive after the board ran 98569. Esfandiari Gets a Frustrating Chop Antonio Esfandiari raised to 18,000 and Soheil Shamseddin called in the cutoff. Both blinds called as well and the flop came down AQ2. The blinds checked and Esfandiari bet 41,500. Shamseddin called and the blinds folded. The turn was the Q and both players checked. The river was the A and Esfandiari checked. Shamseddin bet 50,000 and Esfandiari raised to 140,000. Shamseddin called and showed A7. Esfandiari showed AJ and both players chopped the pot with aces full. Esfandiari, clearly frustrated by the situation, had the better kicker and would have taken the pot with most river cards. Daniel Alaei Takes Chip Lead, Becomes First Millionaire We didn’t catch the action on the flop, but Daniel Alaei was all in on the turn of a board reading AA64 against Bryan Devonshire’s AQ. Alaei showed AK and the river was the 10 giving him the pot. Devonshire was left with 18,000 and Alaei now has 1,050,000 and the chip lead. Carter King Doubles Through Joe Cassidy Carter King moved all in for his last 85,500 and was called by Joe Cassidy in the blinds. Cassidy showed AJ, but was way behind to King’s aces and drawing dead by the turn. King is now up to about 190,000 in chips.
