Ferocious Start for O'Brien

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dan O'Brien entered the tournament very late, but he's already sitting on a ton of chips after getting very lucky on the last hand before the break.

After a raise to 2,500 and one player called after which a third player moved all in for less. O'Brien moved all in for 11,650 and the action folded to the initial caller who moved all in as well.

"Oh no!" O'Brien laughed, as the cards were turned face up.

O'Brien: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Short stack: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

"You got one of my cards!" O'Brien yelled, but the flop brought out {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} anyway.

On the turn the {J-Hearts} hit and the river completed the board with the {8-Hearts}. O'Brien more than doubled up and he's heading into the freeze-out stage of this event with a ton of chips.
