O'Brien is a Hero, Allemann is a Zero

Calling river shoves with fourth pair? No big deal.

No-Limit Hold'em

When we reached Table 357, the board read {4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Dan O'Brien led for 4,700, Anton Allemann raised to 12,600, and O'Brien called. The river was the {k-Diamonds}, and O'Brien checked to Allemann who moved all in for 50,000.

O'Brien went deep into the tank, but eventually made the call. Allemann opened up {7-Spades}{6-Clubs} for an air-ball, and O'Brien tabled {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for fourth pair - wow!

Allemann in the rail, while O'Brien is back up over 200,000 chips.
