O'Brien Busts in Big Clash with Levy
We haven't seen too many giant preflop clashes in this event, but just a few moments ago Adam Levy, Dan O'Brien and Frank Kassela exchanged blows back and forth that found O'Brien and Levy all in with over 300,000 chips on the line. The situation was ace versus kings and things didn't end up well for O'Brien, even those he was the one yielding the rockets.
From under the gun, Levy raised to 7,000 and action folded over to O'Brien in the cutoff seat. He three-bet to 17,000 before play fell on Kassela, who had the button. Kassela stuck in a four-bet to 48,000, kicking things up even greater. The two blinds folded and then Levy took a minute before moving all in for 140,000. O'Brien then moved all in himself for a little bit less at 127,000. Kassela then went into the tank before eventually folding his hand.
O'Brien tabled the 
and Levy the 
. Without help from here, Levy would be in severe trouble.
The flop contained all Levy needed to win the hand when the 
spiked. It was joined by the 
on the flop, the 
on the turn and the 
on the river. O'Brien's aces were left second best to the set of kings for Levy and his tournament was over. Levy moved to over 300,000 in chips.
