Cliff Josephy raised to 4,000, and Dan O'Brien reraised to 11,600. Josephy then 4-bet to 20,000, and O'Brien thought for about a minute before calling. The dealer spread a {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop, and Josephy continued for 22,000. O'Brien considered his options for about two minutes before announcing a raise to 25,000.
