Dan O'Brien

Dan O'Brien open-shoved for a whopping 29,000 chips from under the gun. He was called by Matthew Vengrin in the cutoff seat, Robert Merulla in the small blind, and Justin Filtz in the big blind.

"I want an full-on investigation regarding this collusion," O'Brien joked.

The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Merulla checked, and Filtz tossed out 50,000 into a dry side-pot. Only Vengrin called.

The turn was the {9-Spades}, and Filtz led for 200,000.

"Hope you got it," Vengrin said, mucking his hand.

Filtz did, opening {k-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for two pair, but O'Brien was very live with {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. O'Brien's rail, led by Jason Mercier, was on their feet, calling for a club as the dealer burned and turned one last card.

The {3-Diamonds}.

O'Brien gave a smile, wished the remaining players good luck, and headed out of the Thunderdome.
