Mike Carroll Working the Short Stack Game

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Nursing a short stack for much of Day 3, Mike Carroll found himself all-in recently, in what has to be a record for three-way all-in pots. With his {A-Spades}{8-Spades}, Carroll shipped his last 50,000 into the middle, and was called in two spots by the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and the {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

The flop of {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} gave Carroll a pair, crushing the ragged hand and leaving him to dodge paint on subsequent streets. A {10-Hearts} on the turn solidified his position, and the {9-Hearts} on the river meant he could breathe easier, at least for another round or two of blinds and antes.
