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: KQ All in
Blake Scherschel: 105

Scherschel flopped a pair on A56, 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.
