O'Brien Flops It

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Dan O'Brien was down to just 3,000 in chips but is now slowly building his stack back up. O'Brien limped under the gun with three other players in the pot.

The flop ran out {q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and the player in the big blind checked. O'Brien bet 200 and the action folded around back to the player in the big blind who called. The {5-Spades} hit on the turn and the player in the big blind checked. O'Brien bet 550 and his opponent called.

The river brought the {8-Diamonds} and after it was checked to him, O'Brien bet 2,000. His opponent called and O'Brien turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} to take down the pot.
