Cima Doubles His Short Stack
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Pavol Szetei open-raised to 2,500 from the cutoff and Nicolas Cima moved all in from the button with a short stack of 8,600. Szetei made the call and players flipped their cards, with Cima at risk.
Nicolas Cima: A♣5♣ 
Pavol Szetei: Q♣J♠
Cima didn't have to worry about busting for long, the A♠3♦2♦ flop giving him a pair of aces and leaving Szetei drawing thin. The turn was the 5♥ and river the 6♥ and Cima made two pair to double up his stack.
