O'Dea Doubles Through Mueller
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Greg Mueller opened to 2,300, and Donnacha O'Dea shoved all in for 14,800. Action folded back to Mueller.
"I don't think I can fold," he said. "How much is it?"
Given the count, he continued to think. "I just have a feeling I'm way behind."
Mueller called and was pleased to see it was a race.
Mueller: 
O'Dea: 
O'Dea's eights held as the board ran out 
, dodging a gutterball that Mueller picked up on the turn.
