O'Dwyer Nearly Closes the Gap to Kovalski

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski raised to 80,000 on the button and Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer called in the big blind. O'Dwyer check-raised the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop from 120,000 to 400,000 and was called by Kovalski.

The {5-Hearts} followed on the turn and a bet of 800,000 by O'Dwyer won the pot right there.

Kovalski then won two pots off Filipe "Zagazaur" Oliveira to get most chips back, however, O'Dwyer is not that far behind anymore.

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer opened to 88,000 and table short stack "Sintoras" then three-bet jammed from one seat over in the cutoff for the last 273,802, which O'Dwyer called.

"Sintoras: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

"Sintoras" was ahead and even hit top pair on the {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop but the {7-Clubs} turn left them drawing dead even before the {j-Hearts} fell on the river. That reduces the field to the final five and "Sintoras" takes home $32,936.
