Hands 17-20: Muehloecker Wins a Big One
Hand #17: Steve O'Dwyer opened under the gun for 85,000 and action folded to Thomas Muehloecker in the small blind. The Austrian pro three bet to 295,000 and Luuk Gieles quickly released his hand from the big blind. O'Dwyer thought about it for a bit before he called.
The flop came 
and Muehloecker bet 235,000. O'Dwyer made the call. The 
fell on the turn and Muehloecker checked. Now it was time for O'Dwyer to bet 235,000 and Muehloecker called. Both players checked the 
on the river and Muehloecker's 
proved a winner as O'Dwyer mucked.
Hand #18: Igor Kurganov made it 95,000 from early position and got called by his neighbor Sam Greenwood and big blind Steve O'Dwyer. The flop came 
and Kurganov picked up the pot with a continuation bet of (what we believe was) 175,000.
Hand #19: Igor Kurganov opened to 95,000 under the gun and found no resistance, everyone folded.
Hand #20: Sam Greenwood made it 100,000 under the gun and just Igor Kurganov in the big blind made the call. Kurganov check folded on 
to the 125,000 continuation bet and Greenwood took down another pot.
