The Short Stack's Turn to Double
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Dani Stern opened for 24,000 under the gun and cleared the field to a short-stacked Brandon Meyers in the big blind. Meyers, the one-time chip leader, moved all in for 119,000 and Stern called.
Stern:
Meyers:
Meyers got it in good but the flop paired Stern and gave him the lead. The turn meant just one card stood in the way of the bubble bursting, and that's just what it did as the peeled off to give Meyers a winning pair of aces.
"I folded an ace," Ognjen Sekularac said as the rest of the players bemoaned the fact that the bubble continued.
