Short Stacks Catch Shove Fever; Tough Break for Kara Scott

The shorter stacks have been routinely moving in; in the last 15 minutes Christer Johansson's done it preflop twice (no call) and so has Kara Scott. Hovering around 110,000, Scott was in good shape for a double-up both times, but it didn't quite work out that way.

Scott was all in preflop the first time and only big blind Lee Brooke-Pearce was giving some thought to calling. He asked for a countdown and looked serious about his hand. After a minute of so he passed, though, showing {7-Clubs} {7-Spades}. He was rewarded by Scott revealing she had {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}.

Moments later, Albert Iversen had come into the hand under the gun (I missed whether it was a raise or a flat-call) and Kara Scott's stack was back in the middle, this time called by Iversen with {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. She showed {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} and it all looked promising up until the river which completed the board's two pair: {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} . Their ace kickers chopped it up, and the tables broke for dinner shortly thereafter.
