Goodnight Australia, O'Brien is out

Paul O'Brien hung in well and did his mother proud (she's been following the blog we've been told) but when he needed to win that all important flip his luck ran out. Valerio Valera had moved all-in from the button for 92,000 and was called all-in by O'Brien in the small blind. Jose Barbero had a long think before folding {3-}{4-} face-up in the big blind.

O'Brien: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Valera: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board didn't start well for O'Brien and never improved with {5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Ironically enough had Barbero convinced himself to make the call he would have rivered a wheel and ko'd both players to scoop another 170,000.
