Seat 4: Steve O��Dwyer, 30, Pennsylvania, USA - 5,270,000
American Steve O'Dwyer is about to sit down at his third EPT Main Event final table �C and his second in a row at EPT London. As he put it, he��s ��three for three in Main Event final tables!��
O��Dwyer��s first big score was in 2009 when he came sixth in the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic for more than $200,000, but it was 2011 when the communications graduate had his breakthrough year. O��Dwyer won nearly $1.5 million in 2011 and the following year snagged a further $880,000, tearing through EPT Season 8 with a fifth place in the EPT Barcelona �10,000 High Roller, runner-up at EPT London for ��465,000, and seventh at EPT Copenhagen for DKr 290,000.
However, despite a seventh place finish at WSOP-E in Cannes last October, worth another ��130,000, O��Dwyer says that, poker-wise, the last eight months have ��sucked��.
He said: ��I��ve been having a nice time but poker-wise, it��s not gone well so this is a nice change of pace.�� O��Dwyer hails from the States originally, but now lives in Ireland so he can play online.
