Senno Doubles His Short Stack

Level 6 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player under the gun raised to 2,500 before Fredrico Senno, next to act, moved all in for 7,500. Nicolas Chouity reraised to 14,000 and the original raiser got out of the way.

Fredrico Senno: {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Nicolas Chouity: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

"I'm alive," Senno said when the cards were revealed.

"You're ahead, actually," a tablemate said as the {8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop gave him a flush draw.

Senno didn't connect with the {2-Diamonds} turn, but the {5-Hearts} on the river gave him a pair and the much-needed double up.
