. The first player to act pushes all in on a short stack for 2,200. The player in Seat 1 thinks for several minutes before re-raising all in himself, having the table covered. The last player to act, Walter Chambers, of Baton Rouge, LA, counts his stack twice before calling off his last 11,000 chips.

The hands are turned over. The short stack has {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

, giving him bottom set and dominant control of the hand. The turn and river, {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

, fail to improve any hands, and Chambers rakes in a big pot, bringing his stack up to 32,000, while Seat 1 is left with just 1,800 chips.
