West is the Best
![[user198174]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Tim West was playing a hand with a 
board when a short stack in early position moved all in for 8,700. After some contemplation West moved all in for 12,900 with two players still to act behind him. The player on the button after weighing his decisions moved all in, he had all players in the hand covered, the fourth player folded and cards were turned over.
The initial short stack all in player held 
for a pair of eights.
The button held 
for an open ended straight draw and a flush draw to boot.
Tim West had the worst of it with 
for a measly pair of sevens.
When all the chips were accounted for and all the side pots put in place the dealer burned and turned a 
, Tim West's miracle card. West now had the lead and the angry glares of angry player at the table.
A river 
failed to deliver on anyone and West essentially tripled up and now has plenty of chips to make it to day two.
