O'Brien Earns a Double Up

After a player in early position opened the pot with a raise to 3,500, Dan O'Brien moved all in for his last 38,900 in chips. Alan Murphy was waiting in the small blind and he made the call. They went heads up after two quick folds.

O'Brien: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Murphy: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The flop gave O'Brien all the help he needed when it peeled off {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The turn {8-Spades} and river {3-Spades} were no help to Murphy. However, he was still left with a healthy stack to help ease the pain.
