Ballard In Early
The action was opened by Oliver Speidel in middle position. Jason O'Brien made the call a couple of positions to his left and it was Stewart Ballard in the blinds. Ballard opted to shove all in and it was sent back around to Speidel. It took a while for Speidel to decide what to do, eventually shoving his big stack in. O'Brien got out of the way and the two players turned their hands over.

Ballard:
By the time the board ran out , Ballard was still in front, but Speidel had some more outs with the broadway draw. The on the river changed nothing and Ballard took down the double-up.
