...Then is Crippled

Wesley Pantling open-shoved for 357,000 in first position, and Dan O'Brien re-shoved for around 60,000 more right behind him. The players in the blinds released, and the hands were opened.

Pantling: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
O'Brien: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The all-diamond flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} left Pantling with just four outs, but unfortunately for O'Brien, the {k-Hearts} that came on the turn was one of them. O'Brien now needed a diamond or a nine to win the pot, but the {3-Spades} bricked on the river.

"Brutal," Jason Mercier said from the rail as he watched his friend get crippled.
