Aussie pro Damien Oborne just took down a decent pot and eliminated an opponent in the process. Two players had limped into the pot before the action folded around to Oborne, who looked down at pocket queens. Damien opted to raise it up to 8,000, which prompted one of the limpers to fold. The other, however, shoved his remaining 30,000 into the middle on the strength of A-K and Oborne made the call.

Oborne's queens were safe after the flop, which came 9-10-4, but a king on the turn left him drawing to a jack for a straight or one of the two remaining queens in the deck. Amazingly, Oborne spiked a lucky lady on the river for a set, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.

Oborne stacked up just under 120,000 in chips after the hand.
