Lang's Stack Shrinking

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

We found Ben "Angry African" Lang contemplating a preflop all in from a short stack. Lang, who didn't have his opponent covered by much, finally called.

Lang: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Lang's outlook improved on the {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop, and the {q-Spades} turn put his opponent on the brink of elimination. "Pair it," the player said as he got out of his seat, seemingly resigned to his fate. He got his wish as the {k-Hearts} hit the river, and he sat back down with his tournament life spared. Lang may be feeling up to his nickname with fewer than three big blinds to his name.
