The Short-Stack Uprising
Ville Mattila and Miguel Proulx got it all in before the flop with similar stacks, putting about 4 million chips in the middle of the table going to showdown:
Mattila:
Proulx:
The flop was most decidedly excellent for Proulx as it came down to pull him into a big lead. If the flop was excellent, the turn was something even better excellent; the further improved him to a full house, locking up the pot right there. The meaningless filled out the board.
When the chips were counted down, Mattila was left with just 225,000. Proulx is up to 4.29 million.
