Matt O'Donnell Doubles Thru Bolivar Palacios

John Dollinger raises UTG+1 to 10,500, Bolivar Palacios calls from the hijack, and Matt O’Donnell reraises from the button to 26,000. Dollinger folds, and Palacios tanks for a while before he calls.

The flop comes [Jc9h7d], Palacios checks, O’Donnell bets 32,000, and Palacios tanks for a while before he calls.

The turn is the [6d], Palacios checks, and O’Donnell moves all in for 139,000. Palacios asks for an exact count and then tanks for a while before he calls with [8c8h] (pair with an open-ended straight draw). O’Donnell turns over [QcQd], and he’ll need it to hold to stay alive.

The river card pairs the board with the [Jh], and the pocket queens hold up for Matt O’Donnell to win the pot and double up in chips.

Matt O’Donnell  –  412,000  (82 bb)
Bolivar Palacios  –  125,000  (25 bb)
