Off to the Races

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A short-stacked Kevin O'Connor got his stack of 10,000 of so all in preflop and was racing against Mike Ermie.

Ermie: {8-}{8-}
O'Connor: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

O'Connor was behind and at risk, which meant he needed to improve to stay alive. Things weren't looking good on the {7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop, but salvation was delivered when the dealer burned and turned the {A-Diamonds}. O'Connor paired his ace and just needed to dodge an eight on the river to double, which is exactly what he did when the {Q-Diamonds} blanked.
