O'Leary Cracks Aces to Avoid Elimination
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
A player in the cutoff raised the minimum to 80,000 and a player on the button three-bet jammed for 680,000. The decision was then on Grant O'Leary in the big blind, who decided to call all in for his remaining 315,000. The cutoff, in a tough spot, tanked for a short while before folding.
Grant O'Leary: K♠Q♥
Button: A♠A♣
As the flop came Q♣K♥10♠ O'Leary shouted "Come on!" as he erupted from his seat. The turn and river came the 7♥ and the 4♣. Deprived of a bounty, the pocket aces had been cracked. The player in the cutoff voiced to the table that he would have rivered a set of fours.
