And Not So Much Starting Stack...

As we were hitting "Publish" on that last post, the aforementioned Dan O'Brien came walking past our table wearing his backpack and a frown. We asked him what happened to his 31,000 chips from about ten seconds ago.

"I have an overfull," he said. O'Brien proceeded to tell us about his final hand, one in which he called a raise with pocket tens before the flop. He called a continuation bet on the {J-} {9-} {9-} flop, and his opponent checked the {10-} turn. O'Brien bet and was called, and his opponent checked the {6-} river as well. O'Brien moved all in, and his opponent snap-called with one of the two hands that could beat him, pocket nines.
