O'Donnell Doubles Up After Big Preflop Action

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

A player under the gun raised to 1,050 and was called in one spot before another player three-bet to 4,000 from middle position. Matt O'Donnell potted it from late position for almost all of his 15,000 or so stack, and action folded to the initial caller, who reraised, forcing out the three-bettor. That player who folded last flashed queens before mucking them.

O'Donnell: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

"Queen," the player who folded queens said as the dealer spread the {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. He was a bit early, as his set came in the form of a {q-Clubs} turn, and the {j-Spades} river kept things clean for O'Donnell.

"Every time I make a fold like that, I swear I get there," the player with queens said.

Gotta be in it to win it though, as they say, and O'Donnell took the pot.
