West Runs into Rockets

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We noticed Tim West exiting the Pavilion and he was nice enough to let us know what had happened.

West has been nursing a 1,500 short stack and open-shoved from under-the-gun with {A-}{Q-}. He was called by a lone opponent who had the statistically worse hand West could be against - {A-}{A-}. West's hand failed to improve on the board and he was eliminated.
