Sarkeshik the Short Stack

Ali Sarkeshik has been sitting with the shortest stack in the room for the last half-hour at least, and at present is now down to less than a single big bet.

He's had a smile on his face the entire time, though, laughing and chatting with others as he managed to make it past the first pay jump. He's been explaining how in cash games he'd be putting his chips in readily drawing three cards, but in tournaments he plays differently.

The blinds are about to reach him again, though, so he'll have to commit those last chips soon.
