O'Rourke Cracks Kings to Survive
Bob O'Rourke just delivered one of the first bad beats of the day, sending an unsuspecting opponent's pocket kings into the muck.
In a three-bet pot with around 21,300 in the middle, the flop came 8♣5♥4♥. O'Rourke, in middle position, moved all in for 9,600 and was snap-called by the cutoff.
O'Rourke tabled 5♦5♣ for a flopped set of fives, leaving his opponent drawing thin with K♣K♠.
The J♣ turn and 7♠ river changed nothing, and O'Rourke dragged the pot while his opponent could only watch on dejectedly.
