It\u2019s one thing to win one high roller event<\/a> at a poker tournament \u2013 but it\u2019s really something<\/em> to win two. Steve O\u2019Dwyer has accomplished just that after winning the \u00a310 000 High Roller (for $410 000) event at the PartyPoker Live Millions Tour, after winning the \u00a325 000 High Roller event (f0r $587 000).<\/p>\n

Two High Roller Events in A Row<\/h2>\n

In the first event, Dwyer was one of 51 runners vying for their share of a huge prize pool worth $1.6 million. \u00a0Only 14 players went through to Day 2 of the event. In the final hand, O\u2019Dwyer had J9 against Fabrizio Gonzalez\u2019s Aces. Even with the smaller pre-flop hand, O\u2019Dwyer was able to flop two pair before turning a full house.<\/p>\n

In the second event won by O\u2019Dwyer, there were 105 entries. After three long days, 11 players finished in the money and O\u2019Dwyer found himself at a final table with talented players from countries all around the world like Italy, Germany and Norway. In the final hand, he was up against Gianluca Speranza. It was Aces against 73s, and O\u2019Dwyer was able to walk away with the grand prize.<\/p>\n

It is an impressive feat to take home the grand prize in two high roller events in the same tournament. O\u2019Dwyer definitely deserves his huge windfall, worth nearly $1 million.<\/p>\n

Running Good in 2018<\/h2>\n

O\u2019Dwyer has a had a fantastic year<\/a>, so far. Before taking the two high roller events at the Party Poker Live tournament, he saw some impressive wins worth over $1 million.<\/p>\n

First, he cashed in on a prize worth $277 000 in a $2,100 buy-in event during the World Championship Of Online Poker. <\/strong>Then, he followed it up with a $900 000 win in the PartyPoker Super High Roller Powerfest event, which had a $25 000 buy-in.<\/p>\n

All of these huge windfalls have pushed O\u2019Dwyer almost into the Top 10 of Hendon Mob\u2019s All Time Money<\/a> list. With total winning of just over $23.3 million, he is in 11th<\/sup> place. He has beaten out Phil Helmuth and Sam Trickett, and could soon be up at the top of the list with Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu and Justin Bonomo.<\/p>\n

Having earned multiple high roller prizes this year, O\u2019Dwyer is well on his way to becoming one of the highest-earning poker players of all time. If he has a few more tournaments like this one, he\u2019s sure to break the Top 10 in no time. It surely won\u2019t take him long to overtake David Peters ($24.6 million) or Bryn Kenney (with $25.6 million).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s one thing to win one high roller event at a poker tournament \u2013 but it\u2019s really something to win two.
