Short Stacks Collide as Bubble Looms
Level 17
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A player in the hijack was all-in for 87,000, and up against Delilah Lerner who with 88,000 had him slightly covered from the big blind.
Hijack: Q♦J♦
Delilah Lerner: A♦A♠
Lerner was a big favorite with aces, but the K♦5♦5♠ flop gave her opponent plenty of outs wit ha flush draw. The player in the hijack picked up two more outs on the J♣ turn, but the 3♥ river was a brick, and he was sent to the rail three spots shy of making the money, while Lerner picked up a crucial double.
