The Short Stacks Keep Doubling

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Antoine Labat made it 325,000 to go first to act with the {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Hak-Hyun Lee in the small blind shoved for 800,000 with the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Aleem Kanji in the big blind folded the {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Labat called after getting a count.

The {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop gave Lee top set and he locked up the double with the {5-Spades} turn, the {8-Hearts} river was already meaningless.

[Removed:208] Eliminated in 5th Place (£31,000)

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Antoine Labat raised to 325,000 with the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and [Removed:208] defended the {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} in the big blind. The flop brought {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Dacic check-shoved into a bet of 500,000 by Labat. Dacic was all in for 2.4 million and Labat called with his top two pair.

The {9-Spades} turn didn't change much but give Dacic one more out, but the {Q-Spades} river was not among them to eliminate Dacic in 5th place. Dacic didn't even realize he had lost yet before realizing what happened and then headed to the payout desk to collect
