Neil O'Brien Now Standing Tall

Neil O'Brien, incidentally sitting to the left of Chris Moneymaker, has caught fire. He was down to 15,000, but two big hands in a row have quadrupled his stack.

In the first hand, O'Brien held 9-9 on a flop of {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. O'Brien pushed and was called by only 8-7 off-suit. The turn and river came {4-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}, and O'Brien doubled up.

In the very next hand, O'Brien raised pre-flop to 3,500 and one opponent called. The flop came {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. O'Brien checked, his opponent bet 3,000, and O'Brien check-raised to 6,000. His opponent re-raised to 10,000 and O'Brien responded by going all in. His opponent laid down the hand, and O'Brien is now suddenly up to 58,000.
