Odd One Out

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kevin O'Donnell was the odd one out in this 4 way pot. With 4 players all in on the turn on a board showing.
{2-Spades}

Kevin was up against 3 players holding the nuts, J9, but he had the nut flush draw and if he hits the case 9 he makes a bigger straight. Unfortunately for him the {10-Diamonds}

didn't help either draw and he has been forced to use his rebuy.
