O'Brien Turns a Winner

Under the gun, Roman Valerstein came in raising to 52,000, and Matthew O'Brien called from the button to go heads up.

The dealer gave them a {4-Spades} {A-Hearts} {10-Spades} flop to work with, but they checked through to the {6-Hearts} turn. Valerstein made his delayed continuation bet of 66,000, and O'Brien wanted to play for more as he raised to 155,000. Valerstein gave it just a quick look before matching the bet.

The river brought the {J-Clubs} and a check from Valerstein, and O'Brien was going to fire again. He stacked up 465,000 and slid it across the line, and Valerstein snap-called to see what was what. O'Brien showed up {6-Spades} {6-Clubs} for the set, and it was the winner.

"Pair no good," Valerstein lamented as he spun his cards into the muck. He let out a big sigh as he paid off the debt to drop back to about 1.3 million, while O'Brien has moved up to about twice that count.
