Steve O'Dwyer became a WPT World Online Championships winner on September 17 when he outlasted and out-foxed 165-opponents in the $3,200 buy-in Heads-Up Championship.
Heads-Up tournaments tend to attract some of the best poker players in the business and this $500,000 guaranteed affair was no different. The likes of Team partypoker's Roberto Romanello, Renato Nomura, and Patrick Leonard, recent WPTWOC champion Daniel Smyth, Gianluca Speranza, Adrian Mateos, and Thomas Muehloecker were just a handful of stellar names who failed in their quest to reach the top 32 places were the money was awarded.
