O'Brien Races Out

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Dan O'Brien - out
Dan O'Brien - out

Dan O'Brien had been worked down to 69,000 when he made his move, shoving in preflop from late position. Two seats over, Richard Gryko spend some time in the tank before he three-bet shoved for about 110,000 total. That isolated him against O'Brien with a chance at the knockout, and it was a flop. O'Brien turned up {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, and he needed to hold up against {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}.

He could not. The board ran through {A-Spades} {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {3-Clubs}, and it goes from bad to worse for O'Brien. He's out with a forlorn gaze up at the ceiling, and Gryko stacks up to move to about 185,000.
