Lipman Loses Battle of Short Stacks
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Howard Lipman three-bet jammed a short stack in the cutoff and El-Juan Du Plessiers did so in the small blind to force out the initial raiser.
Howard Lipman: A♣7♦ 
El-Juan Du Plessiers: 10♦10♠
The J♦8♠7♣ flop gave Lipman an inferior pair while the 10♥ turn improved Du Plessiers to a set, leaving Lipman with four outs to a chop only. Instead, the 8♦ river gave Du Plessiers a full house for the knockout.
