O'Brien Finds a Call
In early position, Matthew O'Brien opened to 60,000, and he called a 190,000-chip three-bet from Jamil Wakil in the small blind. They were heads-up to the flop, and it went check-check to the turn. When Wakil checked to him a second time, O'Brien took his cue to fire 268,000 at the pot. Wakil called that bet, but he was presented with another big one on the river. O'Brien liked the enough to make a big bet of 1 million straight, and that sent Wakil deep into the tank. It would be at least five or seven minutes before the call came.
O'Brien tabled for the baby flush, and it was good. That big pot gets pushed to O'Brien's corner, and with it comes a big swing in the chip stacks. The players are just stepping away for a break, so we'll get some hard counts for you right now.
