Rivet Folds to O'Brien's Shove

No-Limit Hold'em

Dan O’Brien raised to 1,200 under the gun and received calls from Guillaume Rivet in the hijack as well as the player in the cutoff. On the {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop, O’Brien led out for 2,100 and was met with a raise to 6,300 from Rivet. The cutoff got out of the way and O’Brien pulled back his chips before he three-bet to 16,800. Rivet pulled back his chips too and then four-bet to 35,600. O’Brien went into the tank and rechecked his cards several times. He also asked Rivet how many 25,000 chips he had and if he could chop down his stack of 5,000 chips. After several minutes, O’Brien finally moved all in and Rivet didn’t take much time before he folded.
