The Short Stack's Turn to Double

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Dani Stern opened for 24,000 under the gun and cleared the field to a short-stacked Brandon Meyers in the big blind. Meyers, the one-time chip leader, moved all in for 119,000 and Stern called.

Stern: {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Meyers: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Meyers got it in good but the {7-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop paired Stern and gave him the lead. The {4-Diamonds} turn meant just one card stood in the way of the bubble bursting, and that's just what it did as the {A-Hearts} peeled off to give Meyers a winning pair of aces.

"I folded an ace," Ognjen Sekularac said as the rest of the players bemoaned the fact that the bubble continued.
