O'Neil Goes on a Rollercoaster With Aces
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
In a raising war preflop between the player in the big blind and Chris O'Neil on the button, all the chips hit the middle with O'Neil at risk for his stack of 2,505,000.
Chris O'Neil: A♥A♠
Big Blind: Q♦Q♠
O'Neil had his opponent in rough shape, but when the flop fanned out K♦K♥Q♣, it was the queen that changed fortunes with O'Neil needing an ace to stay alive. The turn brought no help on the 8♣, however, the river fell the money card for O'Neil when the A♣ rolled off to score him a full double up.
