Matthew O'Brien has just made a big misstep that cost him about 40% of his chips.
Roman Valerstein opened the second pot in a row to 85,000, but as was the case the first time, he'd not get to see a flop. Jim Harnden made a three-bet to 180,000 next door, and the action stopped once again on Matthew O'Brien's button. He came in from the cold with a four-bet to 400,000 straight, and only Harnden called to see what the dealer had to offer on board.
The flop came out 
, and Herndan led out into the pot as he's shown a propensity for doing. He made it 500,000, drawing a quick raise to 1.1 million from O'Brien. When Harnden shoved, though, O'Brien snap-mucked with a shake of his head.
Harnden spent a moment smirking and trying to decide whether or not to show. After some prodding from the other five at the table, he flashed his 
and dragged in the biggest pot we've seen today. With it comes the chip lead as Harnden climbs all the way up to 4.275 million.
