O'Connell Essentially Doubles
Level 11
: Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Three ways to the 9?5?3? flop, the action checked to Bart O'Connell on the button and he bet for Jason Berilgen and Alex Livingston to call. The 3? turn paired the board and Berilgen checked, Livingston bet and O'Connell instantly raised with just 6,000 behind.
Berilgen folded while Livingston called and then checked the 8? river. O'Connell moved all-in and Livingston groaned. "I paired my emergency card," he said and mulled it over, agonising the massive pot odds. Eventually, he folded and mentioned in table chat he had ace-ace-eight. "I guess I have to call?", he added.
Their table broke soon after as the field dropped below 100 hopefuls.
