Big Timing for O'Driscoll's Big Slick
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Thomas Bazin opened the pot with a raise to 60,000 in the hijack. Gianfranco Iaculli in the small blind weighed his options for a bit before he upped the ante to 225,000.
Conor O'Driscoll was in the big blind and four-bet to 450,000, leaving only 180,000 behind. Bazin quickly folded his 9♦8♦, but Iaculli moved in over the top. Driscoll instantly called.
Conor O'Driscoll: A♦K♣ 
Gianfranco Iaculli: A♣5♣
Iaculli's ace-five threatened to become a flush after the Q♣J♠3♦10♣ turn, but O'Driscoll's Broadway straight was way ahead. The A♥ river changed nothing, and O'Driscoll locked up the pot and doubled up.
