Under the gun, Jim Harndon opened to 75,000, but that's as far as he'd get. Jamil Wakil three-bet to 165,000 next door before Matthew O'Brien four-bet to 355,000 in position. Wakil came along with the call, and it was heads-up to the flop.
With a big pot brewing, the two men checked through the 
flop. The turn paired the board with the 
, and now O'Brien found a small bet of 265,000. Wakil didn't waste much time calling. The 
rivered, and once again, it went check-check to showdown.
O'Brien tabled his 
for tens up, and Wakil had tens up too. His 
was superior in the kicker department, though, and he drags a nice pile of chips to work back up over the 4-million chip mark. O'Brien is still well above the chip average with about 2.46 million now.
