American Poker Pro Raises the Irish Flag in the Bahamas

Playing under the Irish flag, Colorado-born pro @Steve O'Dwyer took down the 2015 PCA 100K Super High Roller for $1,872,580 - his biggest career cash to date! Incidentally, it was also in the PCA that O'Dwyer scored his first recorded live tournament cash in 2007.

"I don't like to fold, I like to see", O'Dwyer told his heads-up opponent @Roger Sippl after making his hero call with Ace high. He certainly must have liked what he saw :)

The 2013 EPT Monaco Grand Final Champion scored his third million+ cash and second consecutive super high roller victory. He is now second only to @Daniel Colman in the US ranking for the past six months:

In November 2014 O'Dwyer won the ACOP Super High Roller after an amazing final table featuring, among others, @Daniel Colman, @Davidi Kitai and his heads-up opponent @Ryan Fee. 

"I just like the competition.. I just want to play aganst the best players in the world in well-organized, professionally run tournaments. That's what gets me up in the morning, not the money."

Certainly he was happy for his friends and backers, notably @Scott Seiver, who's been by his side for many years and more than one downswing. They must be even happier now and we hope O'Dwyer kept a bigger piece of himself this time though he's content to play for the competition  :)

Fun fact for the superstitious:

Eights were involved in all three of O'Dwyer's million+ cashes: rivered quads in the 2013 EPT Grand Final; 8♥  high flush in 2014 ACOP SHR; and finally 8♦ 8♣ (as in 2013!) on the board in the PCA SHR final hand :)
