When nine players remained in the EPT Barcelona Cuatro Knockout event, Steve O’Dwyer was fifth in chips, middle of the road and no threat to the leader, Ottomar Ladva from Estonia. A few hours later, O’Dwyer was once again king of the felt in the Catalan former city of culture and had his latest major title and over $235,000 in winnings.

His resurgence was one of the headlines for the tournament, as he rallied and would eventually make it very deep in the event.
