Two Short Stacks Collide

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Kamel Amrane, who had won his entry to the €5,300 Main Event in a live satellite here in Monaco, was all in and at risk from the small blind for 9,100. In the big blind, PokerStars online qualifier Jens Vinther looked him up and the duo tabled the following cards.

Kamel Amrane: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Jens Vinther: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and the kicker played a crucial role to let Amrane double, leaving Vinther with a mountain to climb on an even short stack.
