Atienza Takes Out a Short Stack
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
A short stack with just 6,500 chips moved all-in from the cutoff. The button folded, but Adrián Atienza called from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way, setting up another preflop showdown.
Cutoff: Q♠7♥
Adrián Atienza: 5♥5♠
It was effectively a coin flip, but the 8♥5♣8♠ flop quickly swung the odds heavily in Atienza's favor as he improved to a full house. The 3♥ turn and 7♣ river were a mere formality, earning Atienza a pot worth around 14,000 chips and sending his opponent to the rail.
