Who's Got the Best Hand?

Massimiliano Martinez opened to 25,000 on the button, Justin Filtz called in the small blind, and Dan O'Brien moved all in for 268,000 from the big. Martinez re-shoved, Filtz folded, and the hands were opened.

O'Brien: {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Martinez: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

"Hey!" O'Brien said excitedly. "Who's got the best hand? All you need is an ace in this game."

The flop came down {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, giving O'Brien two pair. The {5-Clubs} on the turn effectively ended the hand, and the {3-Clubs} on the river made it official.

"How's it feel to be the best, Dan O'Brien?" Haviz Khan needled him.

"It's tough," O'Brien shot back with a grin.
