Oberlieben Left Short-Stacked By Donato
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Carmelo Donato opened to 50,000 from the button and Ken Oberlieben called from the big blind.
They went to a flop of A?4?4? where Oberlieben checked and Donato fired 35,000. Oberlieben then raised to 125,000, and Donato stuck around with a call.
A J? dropped on the turn and Oberlieben continued to show aggression with a bet of 140,000, and again, Donato called.
When the 2? completed the board on the river, both players checked it down with Oberlieben showing J?9? for a pair of jacks and a busted flush draw. Donato, however, had the winner with A?K? as he paired his ace, which left Oberlieben very short stacked.
