Shortest Stack Doubles Through Largest

Robbie Verspui moved all in for 120,000 from middle position and Mark Schmid made the call from the big blind for 90,000 more.

Schmid: {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Verspui: {K-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Verspui was in trouble for his tournament life but not after the {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop rolled out to give Verspui kings up and a stranglehold on the hand. Schmid would need an ace on the turn or river to knock out his opponent but it came the {J-Clubs} and {4-Clubs} and Verspui survived to double up.
