Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Stephen Barnes raised to 32,000 in the hijack, Daniel Myers moved all in for 210,000 on the button, and Barnes called.

Daniel Myers: A♦7♣ All in

"What is that?" tablemate Junxian Du said to Myers.

"It's the winner," Myers replied.

The 5♥4♥8♠ flop gave Myers a straight draw, while Barnes hit top set on the J♣ turn. The river was the 6♥ that Myers was looking for as he doubled up, leaving the 888poker Live Manchester champion on an extreme short stack.

"Don't put that on Instagram," Myers said.

Gavin Naughton was recently eliminated at another table.
