The Short Stack Shuffle

[user127999]

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The tournament staff has cut hand-for-hand short deciding to simply let the players play it out.

In the meantime, a few of the shorter stacks have managed to double up and stay alive.

First, Alex Visbisky shipped it in for 73,000 facing a Johhny Vegas open that Michael Milewski called. Vegas re-shoved, Milewski folded and Visbisky needed help with against Vegas' queens. He got some with an ace on the flop.

A few hands later, Keith Macomber shoved his last 26,000 into Jerry Calvaneso's big blind and Calvaneso called without looking. Turned out he was way ahead with versus Macomber's , but a ten on the turn brought the double for Macomber.
