Short Stacks Take Chips Any Way They Can Get Them

Anybody and everybody's chips are up for grabs at the poker table. Short stack or big stack, all those chips look just as tantalizing. And so it was with Dario Alioto and Jon Shoreman. Alioto raised before the draw, and Shoreman called. Each player drew two cards.

Again Alioto bet. Again Shoreman called. On the second draw, Alioto drew two and Shoreman drew only one. Alioto chose to slow down, checking and then calling after Shoreman bet. Alioto took one card on the final draw, while Shoreman stood pat.

Both players checked it down. Shoreman turned over an eight-six; Alioto flashed a ten and mucked. Alioto is now in extreme danger of busting, with just 11,000 chips while Shoreman (who joked upon opening his chip bag of 9,500 chips today that, "This doesn't look like 95,000 chips!") inches up to 16,000.
