Short Stack Finds a Double
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Stuart Kerr began the day as the short stack, and it didn't take him long to get it in.
It happened after Celina Lin had raised and Kerr made it 51,000 more to go, leaving himself just a single yellow T1,000 chip behind. Lin made a long call and then led out for 5,000 on the 
flop. Kerr called off and the cards were turned up.
Lin: 
Kerr: 
Kerr had flopped top pair with top kicker and was firmly in the lead. The 
turn left Lin drawing dead, and after the 
was run out on the river for good measure, Kerr was pushed the pot.
