Oconnell Hits a Miracle to Crack the Aces of Davis
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
John Oconnell made it 25,00 to go from early position and Joseph Davis three-bet to 75,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Davis he four-bet ripped it for around 300,000. Davis instantly called.
John Oconnell: K♥K♦ 
Joseph Davis: A♥A♣
It was the ultimate cooler that Davis happened to be on the right side of.
The J♦10♥Q♥ flop gave Oconnell a few additional outs in the form of a straight draw. The 2♥ on the turn took away one of those outs as Davis held the ace of hearts. The 9♣ appeared on the river to give Oconnell the straight, keeping him in the tournament, and cracking the kings of Davis.
