Level 27
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
First in from the button, Tam Ly raised to 75,000, and Dave Cubeta jammed his 233,000 chips into the middle on a three-bet shove from the small blind. Ly instantly called with his covering stack, and Cubeta was in a bad way:
Ly: 
Cubeta: 
When you're that far behind, a 
flop looks like a win, and the dealer provided Cubeta with eight outs to hit the winning straight. He didn't have to wait long; the 
landed right on the turn, and Ly needed to take a lap around the table to cool off. The river 
was a mere formality, and Cubeta has doubled up to 524,000. Ly is now the dangerously short stack with just 215,000 chips left, about 5.5 big blinds when this level expires.
