O’Dwyer recently finished second to Teun Mulder in the €10,300 MILLIONS Europe High Roller and is aiming to go one place deeper in the €3,300 Main Event. O’Dwyer already has €29,000 locked up but is only eight eliminations away from adding €250,000 to the more than $31 million in live cashes on his poker resume.

Gergely Bartos is hot on O’Dwyer’s heels with one big blind less than the superstar leader. They are joined at the final table by Igor Picone (64,100,000), and Dutchman Luuk Gieles (57,300,000), the latter being a familiar face in large buy-in tournaments around Europe and online.

Ireland’s Daniel Smyth, who won the 2020 WPT World Online Championship Main Event, returns with 52,700,000 chip and a great chance of glory.

Others at the final table who are definitely not only there to make up the numbers are Taras Khilho (47,800,000), Jelle Moene (30,000,000), Duco Ten Haven (27,000,000), and Pavel Brzeski (25,500,000).
