Big Stax 1500 (Day 1B): DiBella Doubles Through O'Brien

Level 4 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Day 1B Entries: 42

John DiBella (Cave Creek, AZ)
The action at Table 54 was picked up on the flop in a hand between John DiBella and Jonathan O'Brien.  On a board of 3 5♣ 7, O'Brien had raised DiBella's flop bet to 20,000.  DiBella made the call and the two watched the dealer place the 6 on the turn.  After a check from Dibella, O'Brien bet 15,000, and John check-raised all-in.  It was another 8,575 for O'Brien to call, and although he said aloud he knew he was behind, the call was made:

DiBella: 6♠ 7♠ (turned two pair)
O'Brien: J 7 (one pair)

River: Q♣

O'Brien seemed to be surprised when he saw DiBella's hand, and waited to see if the dealer could place a jack on the river.  The wrong paint for O'Brien was placed on the felt, and DiBella would double to 85,000 with the pot.
