Mike O'Grady Wins His Table, One Table Left

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Mike O'Grady's opponent was down to his last 7,000 in chips and moved all in with {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. O'Grady took a quick look at his cards and called. He turned over {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}. His opponent seemed certain he would lose, standing up.

"You're live," said O'Grady. His opponent shook his head as if he had no chance of winning.

The flop didn't change those thoughts as it came {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Spades}. O'Grady's opponent grabbed his bag and started to walk away. The turn gave him a tiny sliver of hope as it was the {5-Diamonds}. The river looked as if it might hit him when the dealer turned the card over but it was not a five or seven, it was the {6-Diamonds}.

O'Grady whose wife is 8 months pregnant told us "I'm lucky my wife let me come here for this." The wife will probably be glad she did when O'Grady lets her know that he's made the money.
