Steve O'Dwyer hails from the United States originally, but recently moved to Ireland to be able to play online. The communications and broadcasting graduate also does pretty well for himself in live events and has had some astonishing results in the last year. His first big cash came in December 2009 when he finished sixth in the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic for over $200,000. Then last summer O’Dwyer won a $5,000 NL event at the Bellagio Cup for $259,452 and a few weeks later the Epic Poker League's $1,500 Pro-Am event. He has been on a tear during this season’s EPT. In August, he finished fifth in the EPT Barcelona €10,000 High Roller for €46,900, then a month later was runner-up at EPT London for ￡ 465,000, his biggest cash to date. He has also made the final of three EPT side events, cashed in two more and was runner-up at WPT Venice in December for €95,530. He has racked up more than $2 million in total lifetime tournament earnings. O’Dwyer is currently lying in eighth place in the EPT Player of the Year race – and he’ll get at least 320 more points for making the final here in Copenhagen.
