Online poker’s elite players were out in force on July 12 as they warm up for the upcoming WSOP at GGPoker and the $100 million guaranteed WPT World Online Championships at partypoker. It was at the former where Steve O’Dwyer, a familiar face in tournament poker’s biggest buy-in events, excelled and took down two massive events.
O’Dwyer’s first impressive victory came in the High Rollers Blade Prime, a $5,000 buy-in tournament that saw 133 players buy in and create a $631,750 prize pool. A whole host of stellar names navigated their way to the nine-handed final table, including Isaac Haxton (9th - $15,523), Sean Winter (7th - $26,828) and Michael Addamo (5th - $46,364).
