Mick Graydon came into today as the short stack and the only way to change that fact is to gain chips. He had little choice, with the size of his stack, to commit them all when he moved.
Twice he's had his stack in so far, and twice the shove has got through. The first time he three-bet all-in, and the second time he open shoved. He'll get called at some point but every little chip helps.

Mick Graydon must be feeling a little more comfortable with his stack as he just opened a pot in late position without shoving.
This time he made it 135k and Vuong Than Trong flatted from the button.
They went heads up to the 

flop where Graydon followed up with a 160,000 bet and Trong let it go.
