Kearney Hangs On

From the small blind, Matt Kearney open-raised to 175,000. He was quickly called by Jeff Wiedenhoeft in the big blind. Wiedenhoeft made a good call, as Kearney was stealing with {7-Spades} {4-Spades} and was far behind Kearney's {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. Neither player improved on the {9-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} flop or the {2-Spades} turn, but Kearney spiked the {4-Clubs} on the river to stay alive. He now has about 400,000.
