MSPT Pro Matt Alexander had been nursing a short stack all night long, but just got healthy.

His big hand started with a 4,000-chip raise under the gun that was called in no less than four spots before it got to Alexander in the big blind. He shipped it in, the original raiser followed suit for heaps more and all the limpers folded.

In the end, Alexander's {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} held against his opponent's {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} on a {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board and he picked up the double and an extra 16,000 in dead money.
