McNeil Spikes One-Outer to Survive
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Calen McNeil raised the button and got calls from Frankie O'Dell in the small blind and the big blind. O'Dell led out on the 
flop, and the big blind folded. McNeil considered for a minute before raising, and he and O'Dell got it all in for McNeil's short stack.
McNeil: 
O'Dell: 
"I'm drawing dead!" the defending champ exclaimed.

.
"Case ace," the big blind said, pointing at the card. The 
river only gave McNeil a bigger boat.
At another table, Marc Durand, who had been clinging to a short stack for about half an hour, finally busted out.
