Chip and a Chair - No, Wait, Just a Chair

Amazingly, mini double-ups and blinds and antes built Tony Mackay back to 12,600 in the intervening minutes, and a comeback looked in the cards. He got it all in preflop once more with the {A-Spades} {10-Spades} , but this time Warren Woodall called him with {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} . The board came with an ace on the flop and a jack on the river, cementing what looked like his last defeat. But somehow Woodall had a shorter stack than Mackay - by just 100 chips.

"Come back from that!" challenged Brian Johnson from the neighboring table, "It would be impressive!"

Indeed it would, but Mackay was actually all in with the ante next hand and busted holding {J-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} .
