Visher Cracks O'Toole's Aces To Bust Him

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On the hand just before break, Michael O'Toole limped in from under the gun and Andrew Dea raised to 13,000 from early position. Action folded around to Barb Visher, who three-bet to 19,000 in the small blind (she later said she only saw 8,000 in front of Dea when talking about the action preflop). O'Toole then went over the top of both of them, putting his last 79,000 into the pot.

O'Dea thought for a bit, verbally reciting the action that had transpired, and ultimately decided to fold. Visher then found herself with a decision and called after a few moments in the tank.

Michael O'Toole: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Barb Visher: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, giving Visher Broadway on the turn and sending O'Toole home just before the first break of the day. With the pot, Visher now finds herself north of a half-million in chips.
