Maimone Gets There Against O'Brien

Nick Maimone was all in for 127,500 with {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, but was in bad shape against Dan O'Brien with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

However, the board ran out {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} pairing Maimone's ace while leaving O'Brien with about 10 big blinds.
