Rose Hoping to Build Back from the Short Stack

Sam Rose AKA "Dot.com" was knocked all the way down to 5,500 when the average stack was about 65,000. Rose didn't give up though and made it a point to buckle down in order to try and make a comeback. Since then, he's built back up to 25,000, but he was just knocked back to 9,400 after this hand came up.

A player raised to 4,800 from the hijack seat and the button made the call before Rose called from the small blind. The big blind also called. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} and action checked around to the button. He fired 10,000 and Rose made the call. He only had 9,400 left after the call and the other two players in the hand folded.

The turn brought the {6-Spades} and Rose check-folded to a bet from the player on the button that would have put him at risk for his entire stack. Rose was left with only 9,400, but things could be worse, he could be out of here. Rose was on the short stack before and is on it again, meaning he only has to mount another comeback.

One of Rose's tablemates mentioned that Rose said if he wins this event, he's going to be donating a good amount of the money to charity. That's a nice gesture and we'll see if he can run it up to make it happen.
