Under the gun, Roman Valerstein came in raising to 52,000, and Matthew O'Brien called from the button to go heads up.
The dealer gave them a 
flop to work with, but they checked through to the 
turn. Valerstein made his delayed continuation bet of 66,000, and O'Brien wanted to play for more as he raised to 155,000. Valerstein gave it just a quick look before matching the bet.
The river brought the 
and a check from Valerstein, and O'Brien was going to fire again. He stacked up 465,000 and slid it across the line, and Valerstein snap-called to see what was what. O'Brien showed up 
for the set, and it was the winner.
"Pair no good," Valerstein lamented as he spun his cards into the muck. He let out a big sigh as he paid off the debt to drop back to about 1.3 million, while O'Brien has moved up to about twice that count.
