Ali Still Swinging

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Brian Ali has been battling with his short stack here in Level 7. Just now he was all in on a couple of occasions, and has survived both instances.

The first saw the player to Ali's right open with a raise to 1,000, then Ali pushed all in and everyone folded, including the opener. "Come on, get 'em in there!" said Ali with a grin as he showed his {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

A similar scenario unfolded shortly thereafter, with the same player raising to 1,000, Ali reraising all in, and this time the player calling. Ali had {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and needed help against his opponent's {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}. The board brought such help, though, coming {4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to give Ali sevens and fives and preserve his tourney life.
