Pat O'Brien's Tough River Decision

On a board reading [ks][9s][7d][ac][8d], Pat O'Brien checked in the big blind and a player in later position shoved all-in.

O'Brien went into the tank for a solid two minutes, and eventually threw in the chip to make the call.

O'Brien turned over [kc][2c], and his opponent instantly mucked his hand face down.  O'Brien said, "He raised the cutoff, I just didn't believe him."

A player not involved in the hand said, "Great call man."  To which another player at the table agreed, "Yeah, great call."

O'Brien is now sitting at 201,000.
