Matthew O'Brien opened a can of worms with a raise to 110,000 from the hijack seat, and Drazen Ilich three-bet to 300,000 in the cutoff. O'Brien came right back over the top to 665,000, Ilich shoved in for about 2.6 million total, and O'Brien made the call to put a five-million-chip pot in the middle of the table. Monster flip for a third of the chips in play, anyone?
Showdown
O'Brien: 
Ilich: 
The 
flop was a good sweat as O'Brien added another four outs to the win with the gutshot straight draw. The turn brought the 
and a big lead for O'Brien with one to come, and Ilich was drawing dead to the last two nines in the deck. The river was an upside-down nine, but the 
was a miss for Ilich.
That's the end of his day in sixth place, and he'll snag nearly $45,000 for his efforts here in Palm Beach this long weekend.
