Two Short Stacks Double

[user75032]

Clonie Gowen and Billy Argyros are doing their best to accumulate chips before the end of the day. Gowen's {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

was all in preflop against Joe Cassidy's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

. Things were clear for Cassidy through the turn, {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

, but Gowen hit the river {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

to double up to 12,000.

One table over, Argyros was all in preflop with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

and was called by a player with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

. Both players paired their ace when the flop came {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

. Argyros spiked a card to match his kicker on the turn, {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

. He stood up and turned away from the table before the river came down, unwilling to watch. When it hit, Scotty Nguyen let out an "Awwwwwwww," as if Argyros had been rivered, but it was just a gag. The river fell {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

, leaving Argyros in the clear. He has 7,100 now.
