O’Donnell Puts Dent in Kan’s stack
Level 42
: Blinds 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Ken O’Donnell and Ka Chun Kan were involved in a battle of big stacks.
Kan raised 6,000,000 on the button. The small blind got out of the way, and O’Donnell made the call.
The dealer placed 2?3?9? on the board, prompting O’Donnell to check. Kan made a small 4,000,000 bet, which O’Donnell check-called. The 5? hit the turn, which O’Donnell and Kan checked.
Things got interesting on the river when 4? appeared to put a possible straight on the board. O’Donnell checked, and Kan bet 8,500,000, which O’Donnell immediately called.
Kan tabled 8?7?, while O’Donnell showed K?3? for a pair of threes and the win, which put a large dent in Kan’s once formidable stack.
