O'Disaster for O'Dell

Oh dear, back to back disasters for Jared O'Dell have sent him fuming off for a little stroll.

Alex Keating opened under the gun and O'Dell and another gentleman on the cutoff both called. Over to Fu Wong in the small blind who reraised; three calls later and they were at the {K-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {A-Hearts} flop.

Wong bet out and O'Dell was the only caller, so they went heads up to the {5-Hearts} turn. Wong checked and O'Dell bet; call. The river was the {J-Spades} and Wong checked again. This time when O'Dell bet, Wong raised. O'Dell called, but mucked when Wong turned over pocket aces for a full house.

Fair enough, that hand put Wong up to 40,000 and knocked former big stack O'Dell down to 52,000. But wait! There's more...

With the betting capped preflop, the short-stacked small blind moved all in on the {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} flop and O'Dell called in mid position. A couple seats down, Alex Kravchenko raised; O'Dell called that too.

O'Dell check-called the continued betting from Kravchenko on the {8-Hearts} turn and the {8-Diamonds} river before flipping pocket fours for the flopped set that had turned into a lackluster full house by the river -- and Kravchenko tabled {8-Spades} {7-Spades} for the turned full house and rivered quads. Nice.

Kravchenko's up to a very excellent 70,000 after that. The luckless O'Dell is down to 31,000 and just walked off in an attempt to center himself. Yikes.
