And They're Back
Recently entering the undesired Short Stack category is Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliott. Just before dinner he played a pot against Kenna James which brought him an unwelcome river card. I caught the hand from when Devilfish was betting 2k on a
board, called by an in-position James.The river brought the
, a check from Devilfish, and a bet of 2,400 from James. Devilfish toyed with his chips before reluctantly calling. He was shown 
which had leaped ahead of his 
. A bit of a mutter ensued, in which I heard, "Good call.." and "Can't believe the f*** dealing," but it wasn't really aimed at anyone in particular.

Battle of the Bracelets
It was Hawrilenko who kicked off proceedings, raising to 1,000 from under the gun. The action folded around to Praz Bansi who made it 2,250 from the blind. Hawrilenko called... with

Hawrilenko bet 8,000.
Bansi raised to 23,700.
Hawrilenko pushed all in for 36,675 more.

Sointula - 17,000
