Short Stack Death Battle

MarcC

Alive to fight another day

The two short stacks at the table, Doug Lee and Jerimiah Smith, have just gone toe-to-toe over two hands that ended up with one of them on the floor (not literally).

Round one went to Lee after his UTG all in for 11,600 was called by Smith in the BB. Lee tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

to Smith's {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

. The board ran {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

to see Lee back to his corner with 28,000. Smith is a little bruised and battered but still in this with 30,000.

Round two saw Smith throw the first punch by moving all-in with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

but Lee countered with a call all in with {A-?}

{A-?}

{J-?}

. The killer board of {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{5-?}

{9-?}

{J-?}

{A-?}

saw Lee knocked clean out but he went down fighting.

Smith patched up now and ready for more battle with 78,000.
