Short Stacks Go to War
Magnus Hansen and Lupu Alexandru were the two shorts stacks at their table and there was only room for one of them in this tournament.
The action folded to Alexandru in the cut-off and he opened shoved for 31,000. Hansen was in the small blind, asked for a count of his opponent's stack, and moved all-in for a few thousand more. The big blind folded to leave it heads up.
Alexandru:
