Top Pair Good for O'Neill; Vo Spotted With Chips

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player raised to 2,000 under the gun and was called by the player on his left. Action folded around to the big blind, where Chris O'Neill defended and action went three ways to a flop of {2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

Both O'Neill and the original raiser checked, and the other early-position player bet 2,000. Both players called, bringing the turn {a-Diamonds}. O'Neill checked again and the under-the-gun player fired out a bet of 6,500. The other early-position player folded and then O'Neill called.

Action was then heads up to the river {k-Spades} and O'Neill checked. The under-the-gun player thought for about 20 seconds and then checked behind to take the hand to showdown.

O'Neill showed {a-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a pair of aces and his opponent mucked to earn him the pot.

Viet Vo was also spotted moments later on an adjacent table earning a full double for a pile of chips with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} and is now up to 144,000.
