O'Donnell Survives
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With all the players at the table cheering for him, Pierce O'Donnell in the big blind was all-in and at risk for 4,000 against Blake Scherschel in the small blind.
Pierce O'Donnell: K♣Q♦
Blake Scherschel: 10♦5♠
Scherschel flopped a pair on A♣5♣6♦, but O'Donnell hit the K♦ turn to be back in the lead. The 8♠ river changed nothing and O'Donnell doubled up to 8,000. He put half of his stack in the small blind in the next hand.
