A Whale of a Pot for Whalen

Shamus
Shamus
A couple of big stacks just collided when Bob Whalen and Chris Overgard got it all in preflop, Overgard having Whalen covered, though not by much.

Whalen had {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, and Overgard {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. The board came {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades} and Whalen doubled way up to 1.5 million. Overgard fell all of the way back down to 102,000.

Overgard ended up all in soon afterwards with {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, and was eliminated when he lost to Markus Feurle's {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Feurle is now at 820,000.
