McCartney Hits a Set To Stay Alive
Katherine Offutt opened to 40,000 from under the gun and received a call from a player in middle position. Action folded around to Steven McCartney, who went all in from the small blind. Offutt went all in over the top of him, covering the other player in the hand. After a bit of thought, the player folded.
Katherine Offutt: 
Steven McCartney: 
McCartney found his tens up against Offutt's queens, leaving him drawing slim to stay alive. Everything changed on the flop 
, giving him top set. The turn fell 
to give Offutt a few more outs, but she was unable to complete on the river 
, bringing her back below the million-chip mark she had briefly surpassed. Meanwhile, McCartney now finds himself over 400,000 with over 40 big blinds in his stack at present moment.
