Russel is Onnit

Donavan Russel is one of the many players representing Onnit today in the Main Event. The last Onnit player standing in the Main Event is set to win $5,000. After viewing a recent hand that Russel was involved in, it is safe to say the man is going to be around a little while longer.

The flop read {4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} prompting a bet from an early position player, Russel raised, and the early position player placed a three-bet that would put Russel all in. Russel quickly called and cards were tabled.

Russel: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Russel had a stranglehold on the hand with his pair of jacks, while all that could save his opponent was one of the two last tens in the deck.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs} which changed nothing, and the river saw the {6-Clubs} land on the felt. In the end Russel's jacks were best and he was awarded his double up.
