A short-stacked player got his last 26,000 all in on a 
flop and found himself drawing to runner-runner against Doug Englekirk.

was run out on the river.

Jim Petzing raised to 2,300 from UTG, and Katie Lindsay called in the hijack. The small blind three-bet to 12,000, and after Petzing folded, Lindsay made the call
The small blind checked a 
flop over to Lindsay, who placed a large column of 5k and 1k chips in the pot, enough to set her opponent in for his last 25,000.
Lindsay's opponent gave a frustrated head shake, then mucked his hand.
