With just 62,000 left to work with Jeff Gross made his stand with an open-shove from the button, putting his last four big blinds at risk.

The small blind folded and Mark Herm asked for a count before making the call with {J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.

"Best-case scenario here," said Gross happily as he tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. "Although you slowed me with the suited there!"

After instructing the dealer to deliver the board cards slowly for the maximum sweat, Gross watched as the {j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} board improved his hand through all three streets. Gross still has work to do, but the double gave him a bit of breathing room at least, while Herm still sits at just above the average.
