First Hand Double
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
It was the first hand of play when Andrew Mercaldi raised to 11,200 from under the gun. The action folded around to Aharon Shabtay, who started the day as one of the short stacks. Shabtay decided that this first hand would be a perfect time to ship his stack all-in and did just that. With a call from Mercaldi, the players tabled their hands.
Mercaldi: 
Shabtay: 
Shabtay would need to dodge some bullets or it would be a very quick day for him.
Board: 
No danger for Shabtay as he makes the first hand double-up and puts a dent in Mercaldi's stack.
