O’Donnell Puts Dent in Kan’s stack
Level 42
: Blinds 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Ken O’Donnell and Ka Chun Kan were involved in a battle of big stacks.
Kan raised 6,000,000 on the button. The small blind got out of the way, and O’Donnell made the call.
The dealer placed 2♦3♠9♣ on the board, prompting O’Donnell to check. Kan made a small 4,000,000 bet, which O’Donnell check-called. The 5♥ hit the turn, which O’Donnell and Kan checked.
Things got interesting on the river when 4♦ appeared to put a possible straight on the board. O’Donnell checked, and Kan bet 8,500,000, which O’Donnell immediately called.
Kan tabled 8♠7♠, while O’Donnell showed K♣3♣ for a pair of threes and the win, which put a large dent in Kan’s once formidable stack.
