O'Neill Catches a Jack to Eliminate Lipien
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Padraig O'Neill opened to 20,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Jaroslaw Lipien shoved for his last 145,000 on the button. Action folded back around to O'Neill, who asked for a count and called to put Lipien at risk.
Jaroslaw Lipien: K?Q?
Padraig O'Neill: K?J?
Lipien had O'Neill dominated, but the J?2?5? flop vaulted O'Neill into the lead after pairing his jack.
The 6? turn and 6? river changed nothing and Lipien wished his tablemates good luck as he exited the tournament area.
