It was a busy weekend of live poker action, as 89 players\ncompeted for their slice of the $85 million prize pot. There have been 240\nevents in the competition, with Steve O\u2019Dwyer finally crowned the winner\nfollowing the no-limit hold\u2019em super high roller. That final round saw a prize\npot of just over $2 million, with O\u2019Dwyer taking home $521,598 for winning the\nevent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an excellent performance from O\u2019Dwyer as he began the\nday with the joint-least amount of chips. He and Samuel Vousden had the lowest\nnumber of chips, while Andras Nemeth had led the game heading into the\nthrilling final day. Ben Sulsky was the first player to be eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pokerstars Spring Championship Leaderboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The action was pulsating for fans, as Fedor Holz exited the\ncompetition at eighth as he walked away with just under $89,000 for finishing\nin eighth spot. The field was narrowed further when Vyacheslav Buldygin departed\nthe competition in sixth. He took home $143,781 for his performance. Talal\nShakerchi previously took home the 2016 SCOOP event, but he departed this event\nnext and claimed just over $186,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joao Viera was knocked out in fourth place, before Chun Lei\nZhou then left the competition in third. He took home a lucrative $311,517 for\nhis efforts. The final two players were Nemeth and O\u2019Dwyer, with the action\nbetween the two players starting off with Nemeth having double the number of\nchips. However, O\u2019Dwyer chipped away at the deficit throughout the action, and\nhe was finally able to take the lead after a pair of Jacks and Kings appeared\non the table.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The writing was on the wall for Nemeth from that moment, and he wasn\u2019t able to come back into the game. It marks the second time he has finished as a runner-up this year, as he previously finished second in the Irish Poker Open Online. <\/a>On that occasion, he took home $325,423. His performance in this event saw him take home a bigger piece of the pie as he claimed just over $403,000. There was no doubting the winner however, as O\u2019Dwyer claimed the $521,598 prize money for outlasting a talented field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
