O'Donnell Knew it was Coming
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Short-stacked Mario Lopez moved all in preflop for his last 12,000 and Kevin O'Donnell made the call from middle position. The rest of the players got out of the way and the cards were tabled.
Mario Lopez: A♣2♥
Kebin O'Donnell: Q♣9♣
Lopez was in the lead with his ace-high, but by the turn K♠10♣7♦J♥, he was drawing dead to a queen as O'Donnell made a king-high straight. The river bricked out with the 2♦ to give O'Donnell the win and Lopez was sent to the rail.
"The guy called me with the queen-nine with 100 people behind him?! Unbelievable," Lopez said as he made his way to the exit.
