Now that the glacial pace of hand-for-hand play has completed, each of the tables is back in action at its own speed. The short stacks, guaranteed AU$15,000, will be much more willing to gamble.

Our first short-stack double-up hand belongs to John Paul Kelly. He moved in on a flop of {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

and was called by Antonio Casale. Kelly flopped a set of threes with {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

and was up against Casale's flush draw, {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

. All of the drama seeped out of the hand when the turn repeater {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

gave Kelly a full house. He rivered quads, {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

, to go along with it.

Casale is down to 75,000. Kelly is on roughly 120,000.
