Event 1: T.J. Talks His Way to a Double

In early position and riding a short stack of 7,525, T.J. Shulman elected to make his stand with an open-shove. The action folded around to the small blind, who pondered his options for a moment while studying Shulman from across the table.

"Come on..." beckoned Shulman, hoping to bait his man into a call. "Get you're gloves on and let's mix it up."

Apparently prompted by the table talk, the small blind plunked a calling stack into the middle and tabled {A-}{10-}. Shulman revealed {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and the two were off to the races.

Flop: {q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Turn: {q-Hearts}
River: {Q-Spades}

Although both players now held a full house, Shulman's fours gave him the superior hand, and a much needed double up midway through Day 1B.
