Oberlieben Left Short-Stacked By Donato

Carmelo Donato opened to 50,000 from the button and Ken Oberlieben called from the big blind.

They went to a flop of A♣4♦4♣ where Oberlieben checked and Donato fired 35,000. Oberlieben then raised to 125,000, and Donato stuck around with a call.

A J♠ dropped on the turn and Oberlieben continued to show aggression with a bet of 140,000, and again, Donato called.

When the 2♠ completed the board on the river, both players checked it down with Oberlieben showing J♣9♣ for a pair of jacks and a busted flush draw. Donato, however, had the winner with A♠K♦ as he paired his ace, which left Oberlieben very short stacked.
