HomeA short-stacked player with less than 3,000 shoved and saw Ken Chen try to isolate him with a raise to 5,125. Eemil Tuominen would have none of it and re-popped to 10,500. Chen immediately responded with an all-in worth over 24,000 and Tuominen made the call.
Short-Stacked Player: A♥ J♣
Chen: K♥ K♠
Tuominen: Q♣ Q♥
The flop 5♣ 3♠ 9♣ was good for Chen as well as the turn 2♥ though it gave the short-stacked player additional outs. It came on the river 4♠ as the SS player made a straight to survive in the main event. Chen has around 50,000 after this hand while Tuominen’s stack takes a major hit.
