O'Neill Drills the River to Send Menhardt Home

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Julian Menhardt made it 80,000 to play from under the gun and was looked up by Micheal O'Neill in the big blind.

The flop came JQ6 and O'Neill checked to Menhardt, who continued for 75,000. O'Neill check-raised to 150,000, which was met with a re-raise all in from Menhardt. O'Neill snap-called.

Julian Menhardt: KK All in
Micheal O'Neill: J8

Things were looking pretty hunky dory for Menhardt to get a double up, and the 5 turn changed nothing. However the poker Gods have a sick mind sometimes, and served up the 8 as the river to give O'Neill two pair and crack Menhardt's kings, sending him to the cage.
