Ju's Short-Stack Masterclass Starts Well
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Alexander Hepting made it 13,000 to go from the cutoff and short-stacked Samuel Ju shoved 23,000 in from the button after just telling his table he was going to show them a 'short-stack masterclass'. Once the blinds folded, Hepting called,
Samuel Ju: 10♥10♦ 
Alexander Hepting: 9♠9♥
Ju was ahead, and remained in the lead through the J♦8♦2♣7♥K♣ runout, which earned him a double-up in the opening level.
