2014 World Series of Poker
O'Donnell Growing
Matt O'Donnell just took a huge pot off Don Nguyen to vault up the chip counts and land just underneath chip leader Alex Bilokur.
We caught the hand after O'Donnell bet what looked like 37,000 on the flop. Nguyen called and O'Donnell bet again on the turn, making it 52,000.
Nguyen called again and then it came down to the river, where O'Donnell bet 104,000 and Nguyen sat mulling it over for more than four minutes. He poured over and over the decision, but eventually made the call and mucked when O'Donnell turned over .
