Meyburg Crippled but Stays Afloat

Michael Meyburg was crippled in a confrontation with Volodymyr Zakharov's pocket queens. Meyburg held {K-Spades}

and was unable to improve, dropping him down to just about 40,000.

On the following hand, Iliya Gorodetskiy opened with a raise to 20,000 from early position, and Torsten Trent made the call with the big stack. The action folded around to short stack Meyburg, and he moved all in for 37,000. Gorodetskiy wanted to know if he was allowed to re-raise, and he did just that, moving all in himself. Trent ducked out of the way, and it was heads up for Meyburg's tournament life.
