Ira the Tiger

Short-stacked Ira Schmitz just found herself all in, although she's not going down without a fight, and, seemingly, without having to sweat a bead or two.

With {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades},versus {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, she was looking good for a split pot, until, that is, the {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Spades} board threatened a cheeky backdoor flush.

After the dealer had taken a quick peek (I'm sure this only added to Schmitz' anxiety), a harmless {3-Diamonds} the felt and Schmitz breathed a sigh of relief. However, she is still painfully short with just a couple of thousand.
