Oborne Sends One Packing

Jerry Yang and Damien Oborne
Jerry Yang and Damien Oborne
Damien Oborne, the lone representative of team T6 Poker playing in the championship event, has just eliminated an opponent from the tournament in dominating fashion.

Oborne went to battle with pocket queens against his opponent's A-Q offsuit and managed to spiked the case queen when the flop came Q-9-2, giving him top set. The turn and river blanked out and Oborne stacked up just over 45,000 in chips with the win.

Oborne has excellent position on two very high-profile opponents sitting to his immediate right: Lee Watkinson and Jerry Yang.
