Revenge of the Short Stacks!

Ylon Schwartz

A couple of double-ups have started our day, with the short stacks fighting hard for their shot at WSOP glory.

Razz

Our overnight short stack, Frank Debus doubled in a hand of Razz against Asher Derei.

Debus raised and Derei reraised to put Debus all in on third street. The board ran out:

Debus: ({A-?}{3-?}) {4-?}{2-?}{Q-?}{8-?} ({7-?})
Derei: ({2-?}{4-?}) {7-?}{K-?}{K-?}{4-?} (X)

Debus made a seven-low which Derei couldn't match to double up to 50,000.

Stud

Meanwhile a raising war on fourth street between Matt Hawrilenko and Ylon Schwartz, saw Hawrilenko all in by fifth street. Before the river was dealt, their boards were:

Schwartz: ({A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}) {A-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Hawrilenko: ({A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}) {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

"Am I live?" said Hawrilenko as Schwartz flipped his river to reveal the {9-Diamonds}.

He then squeezed his own river, needing some help to stay alive and found the {3-Spades} for two pair, aces over threes. He doubles to 140,000 as a visibly disturbed Schwartz slips to 110,000.
