Short Stacks Sticking Around

[user76023]

Johnny Lodden and Markus Golser have been two of the short stacks coming into the level, but both have managed to double up to make themselves slightly healthier.

Golser pushed against a button raise, but when called he said hopefully, "Ace-queen, ace-jack?" This was because he could only turn over {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

and upon seeing the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

that his opponent was holding, stated the obvious, "This is very bad." But the board turned out to be very good, coming {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

and Golser doubled to 4,000.

Lodden's two double ups have come in a much more straightforward manner. First he had {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

against Stefan Huber's {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

spiking a Queen. Then less than a minute later his {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

was good against Ilkka Koskinen's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

. Lodden has gone from 2,000 to 8,000 in the matter of minutes.
