Here Comes Ballard

The action was opened by Oliver Speidel in the cutoff. Liam O'Rourke was on the button when he three-bet to 132,000. It was then on Stewart Ballard in the big blind and he shoved all in for 513,000. Speidel got out of the way and O'Rourke decided to make the call.

Ballard: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
O'Rourke: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

When the flop was spread {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}, there was a bit of excitement from the rail. The turn and river didn't change a thing and it was Ballard's bigger set that took down the pot.
