Tough River Spot for O'Brien
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action went heads up to a flop of 8♦J♥4♥ in a hand between Michael Monroig in late position and Warren O'Brien on the button.
With 780,000 in the middle, both players checked to the Q♣ turn. Michael Monroig held 8♠8♥ for a set, while O'Brien had K♠10♣ for an open-ender.
Monroig bet 450,000 and O'Brien called, bringing the K♦ river. Monroig moved all in to put O'Brien at risk, who had 1,160,000 behind. O'Brien thought for a moment with top pair before reluctantly making the call, only to see the bad news.
