Donaldson Doubles Up at the Last Possible Moment

With the final table bubble burst, players are once again looking to mix it up. Trevor Donaldson moved all in for his last 300,000 and was called by Kenneth Terrell. It was a classic race, with Donaldson tabling {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} and Terrell opening {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {4-Spades}, drawing a raucous cheer from Terrell's supporters, who had been pleading, "Ace! Ace! Please, one time!" The turn {J-Spades} didn't help Donaldson. He was down to one river card, which had to be one of the two remaining fives. The dealer burned and turned the {5-Clubs}, eliciting a roar from the crowd and a look of pained disgust from Terrell.

He is now down to about one million in chips; Donaldson has some breathing room with 600,000.
