Short Stack Double for Han
Level 37
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Gursimran Brar raised the button to 225,000 in an attempt to attack the severe short stack of Seung Hyun Han in the big blind. Hyunsik Nam called from the small blind and Han folded.
They checked all the way to the 10♥9♣7♠8♥J♥ river on which Brar bet 225,000. Nam was flabbergasted for a second but eventually called.
Brar flipped over the Q♣9♥ for the queen-high straight and it won the pot, as Nam's 7♦6♦ for an inferior straight on the board was no good.
Han then jammed for 645,000 and Brar folded a king. Han jammed the next button for 805,000 and Nam reluctantly called in the big blind.
Seung Hyun Han: K♥K♠
Hyunsik Nam: J♦10♣
The Q♣9♣7♥J♠10♦ board gave Nam the wrong two pair, as Han made the king-high straight for the double.
