Short Stacks and Bust Outs

Jun 08, '07

A number of big name players have been nursing short stacks.  Some are making comebacks, while some have hit the rail. Phil Ivey got all in on the river and doubled up with a board of (234)437A, for fours up.  Chris Tsiprailidis got his chips all in with a better two pair, eights and fives. His results were not as good, however, because he was up against trip nines, did not improve, and was eliminated.

John Phan and Cory Zeidman also busted in this level.  Zeidman made it deep in the $5,000 stud event which played late into last night, and like Ivey and Sherkhan Farnood, couldn't wait for more WSOP stud action.

Mimi Tran was  dangerously short stacked during this level. With a board of 8JA5 against an opponent's A4A8 for aces on the board, Tran raised her opponent's bet to $600. After he called, the final card was dealt. He checked, and she again bet. He called and she quickly revealed her holecards, the JJ8, for jacks full. Her opponent muck and Tran increased her stack and her chances of surviving.
