O'Connell Doubles With Top Two
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Drew O'Connell limped in from the small blind, and Matt Glantz checked back from the big.
On a flop of 9♠2♣8♣ O'Connell led out for 15,000. Glantz raised to 100,000, O'Connell shoved for 172,000, and Glantz made the call.
Drew O'Connell: 9♥8♦
Matt Glantz: 9♦5♠
Glantz was in need of a miracle, but it wasn't an impossibility as the K♠ rolled off on the turn. Searching for another spade to get the knockout, the 5♣ river gave him an inconsequential two pair.
