Bullets Misfire

Peeking down at {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}, Soren Kongsgaard will have been delighted to see a short-stack push all in from UTG for 3,800 and naturally slid his remaining stack over the line. With no further action, Kongsgaard found himself up against {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and looking to dodge a set. But although no nines emerged, a backdoor straight did, the board coming {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades} to deliver the Dane an eye-watering low blow. To his credit, he took it with a smile, and swiftly went back to nurturing his now 10,000 stack.
