Hand Calls in Big Blind and Doubles Up
Level 14
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action folded around to Tomas Galkus, who shoved all in from the button. Fintan Hand called in the big blind with a short stack. Players flipped over their cards. Hand was at risk of elimination.
Fintan Hand: 
Tomas Galkus: 
Both players were holding an ace with a weak kicker and it looked like a chopped pot was the most likely outcome. The board ran out 
. The low cards on the board meant that Hand's kicker played to give him the double up.
