O'Shea Takes a Player Down

[user75032]

John O'Shea knew what he had to do when the button player raised his big blind to 3,100. O'Shea peeked down at {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

and moved his chips into the middle. His opponent emphatically called all in for less with {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. A flop of {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

hit both players, giving O'Shea two pair and bringing a flush draw for the button. Everyone loves a good sweat, right? The turn {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

changed nothing, nor did the river {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

. Each player made two pair, but O'Shea's aces and queens were the best hand. He eliminated the button and chipped up to 36,000.
