Kearney Hangs On

[user75032]

From the small blind, Matt Kearney open-raised to 175,000. He was quickly called by Jeff Wiedenhoeft in the big blind. Wiedenhoeft made a good call, as Kearney was stealing with {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and was far behind Kearney's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

. Neither player improved on the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

flop or the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

turn, but Kearney spiked the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

on the river to stay alive. He now has about 400,000.
