Three Bet Shove the Small Blind

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Stephen Conyers cheered after doubling up for 11,000 with {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} versus {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. On the {7-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board he improved to two pair after getting it in preflop from the small blind.

Similar story for Zach Laxen, just for less chips. Laxen had 6,400 left and his {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} held up against {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} on a {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} board. He lured his opponent into the call with the words "I won't make the money if you don#t double me up." We'll see about that as there are 103 players left and only 90 will cash.
