Always Back the Booky

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Former World Open winner Anthony 'The Booky' Hardy knows his odds, and when a short-stacked player shoved from late position, he re-shoved for around 18,000 from the button with {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and got folds from the table.

Up against his opponent's {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, Tony saw the flop of {K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{J-Hearts} keep him ahead. The {10-Diamonds} turn opened up yet more outs, but the river of {K-Spades} meant Tony eliminated an opponent and chipped up. He only has around 23 big blinds, but that's plenty for The Booky to work with.

"I'll have doubled up again or been knocked out by the time you're back!" he announced to his tablemates as much as us. We certainly wouldn't bet against him getting right back into this £100, 000 guaranteed opening event.
