Event 4: Waddell Doubles, Callahan Eliminated

Ryan Waddell got it all in with a short stack on a {6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop.

Waddell: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Waddell's opponent had a superior low draw, but Waddell was actually ahead with ace-nine high for the high end. The turn and river came {q-Spades} and {4-Diamonds}, and one player at the table called for a chop, not realizing there was no low. Waddell had simply doubled up by scooping the pot with ace-nine high.

At the adjacent table, Jerry Callahan, whom we highlighted in our "Local Spotlight" series, busted out when an opponent made quad tens.
