Short Stacks Consolidating

[user75032]

Jimmy Cha eliminated

As the blinds go up, the short stacks continue to consolidate. Jimmy Cha was a recent victim of that process, getting all in on a flop of {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

against Claus Valloe.

"Why me?" Cha asked after Valloe moved in. He seemed to know what was coming, but nevertheless called all in for less and tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

. That took away some of Valloe's flush draw outs, {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{5-Spades}

, but it wasn't enough. The turn and river were {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

to make a spade flush for Valloe. Cha shook Valloe's hand then stood up and exited the ballroom.
