A short-stacked player opened with a raise to 9,700, and the action came to C.K. Hua. He went into the tank for a bit and eventually asked, "Do you have tens?" When he got no response, Hua moved all in, and the short stack called all in for his last ~22,000 total.

Hua tabled {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

, and his opponent was in good shape to double with {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

. When he saw the pocket eights, the player pumped his fist and let out several big cheers. He would do the same thing again when the board ran out clean for him: {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

. With his jacks holding up, the shorty gets a double up to 52,000 at the expense of C.K. Hua
