O'Brien Takes It on the Turn

Level 30 : 75,000/150,000, 75,000 ante

Loren Klein limped the small blind holding the {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Dan O'Brien checked his option from the big with the {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The {7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop paired both players and Klein led out for 200,000. O'Brien called and the dealer burned and turned the {8-Clubs}.

Klein checked his pair and O'Brien bet 400,000 with his two pair. Klein gave it some thought and then released his hand.

Austin Roberts Eliminated in 3rd Place ($22,180)

Level 30 : 75,000/150,000, 75,000 ante
Austin Roberts
Austin Roberts

Dan O'Brien was in the small blind and Austin Roberts in the big when the latter got his stack of 2.4 million all in preflop.

O'Brien: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Roberts: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Roberts was behind but not after the {2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop paired his ten.

O'Brien could still win with either a king or ace and while the {9-Hearts} turn wasn't what he was looking for the {a-Spades} river was. Roberts was ousted in third place for $22,180.

O'Brien Slowly Extending Lead

Level 30 : 75,000/150,000, 75,000 ante

Dan O'Brien raised the button to 325,000 holding the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Loren Klein defended holding the {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

Klein check-called a bet of 250,000 on the {7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop and then action went check-check on the {q-Hearts} turn.

When the {2-Hearts} completed the board on the river Klein checked for the third time and O'Brien bet 600,000. That did the trick and Klein sent his hand to the muck.

O'Brien with the Check-Raise

Level 32 : 125,000/250,000, 125,000 ante

Loren Klein limped holding the {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Dan O'Brien checked his option with the {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

When the flop fell {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades}, O'Brien checked top pair and Klein bet 300,000. O'Brien woke up with a check-raise to 800,000 and Klein quickly folded.

O'Brien Doubles Huge in Cooler Hand

Level 33 : 150,000/300,000, 150,000 ante

Dan O'Brien raised the button to 650,000 with the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Loren Klein defended holding the {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop saw Klein make two pair and O'Brien top pair. The former check-called a bet of 1 million and then check-called one of 2.1 million on the {10-Diamonds} turn, which gave O'Brien a bigger two pair.

Klein checked for the third time on the {8-Hearts} river and snap-called when O'Brien moved in for his last 3.6 million.

With that Klein was left with just three big blinds.
