O'Brien Doubles Up, Butuc Short

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Arnaud Enselme opened to 125,000 from under the gun and James O'Brien shoved his last 515,000 from the cutoff. Gheorghe Butuc, in the big blind, used a time bank chip before shoving for 790,000. Enselme folded and told Butuc: "You saved me!"

James O'Brien: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Gheorghe Butuc: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

"Woooo! I had sixes!" Enselme exclaimed as the hands were revealed.

With the rest of the table hoping for O'Brien's demise and a $1,250 ladder, the flop came {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and the Irishman stayed ahead.

The {j-Hearts} turn gave Butuc a straight draw but the {3-Hearts} completed the board, giving O'Brien the double up and Butuc assumed the role of short stack at the table.
