Full Tilt Poker Qualifiers Collide

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ryan Straub, who qualified for this event on Full Tilt Poker, opened for 6,000 from early position and received a call from Bulgaria's Yassen Jotev on the button. After the small blind folded, FTP qualifier Edward O'Brien opted to shove for 15,200 from the big. Straub made the call and Jotev got out of the way.

Straub: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
O'Brien: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}

O'Brien needed a little luck and found some on the {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop. He hit a pair of queens with an open-ended straight draw and was a huge favorite to double. That quickly changed when the dealer burned and turned the {J-Diamonds}. Straub hit Broadway and suddenly O'Brien needed either an ace to chop or a queen or jack to make a full house. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {7-Clubs}, the last card O'Brien would see here in the UKIPT Galway Main Event.
