Elizabeth Doubles; Remains Short

A gentleman raised, and it folded around to severely short-stacked Shannon Elizabeth in the small blind, who reraised. Her opponent called the reraise, and furthermore called her bets on every street until she was all in for 75 on the river of the {4-Spades} {10-Spades} {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} board; he called that too, but had clearly underestimated the strength of Ms Elizabeth's hand, and he just mucked when she flipped over {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}.

She doubles up to a still precarious 2,000.
