Darcourt Spins Up a Short Stack
The action folded to Samuel Joslyn in the small blind, and he limped in. Guillaume Darcourt, who had seen his stack shrink to 5,800, jammed from the big blind. Joslyn wasn't a fan of the spot but decided to call anyway.
Darcourt's A♣6♦ was ahead of Joslyn's K♥2♥, and the short stack survived after making a pair of aces on the A♦J♥7♠9♦5♣ runout.
On the very next deal, Georges Forge raised to 700 from early position before Marius Conan three-bet to 2,400 from middle position. Darcourt, in the small blind, moved all-in for around 12,000. Forge gave up his hand and then Conan called for the cards to go on their backs.
Guillaume Darcourt: Q♠J♣
Marius Conan: A♦J♠
Darcourt was dominated but picked up eight more outs thanks to the 10♣9♥6♦ flop. His open-ended straight-draw came in on the 8♣ turn, and Darcourt booked consecutive doubles when the 8♠ river sealed him the checkmark.
