Doing the Short-Stacked Shuffle

Now that we're well in the money, the short stacks are pushing all in with regularity. We recently saw a three-way all in involving Patrick Ricci (15,900), Ross Derrod (8,000), and Greg Mueller. Mueller, with over 130,000, can afford to gamble with the shorties.

Derrod {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Ricci {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Mueller {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Ricci is out. Derrod won the main pot with his jacks and is up to 20,000. Mueller still has about 120,000.
