Battle of the Short Stacks

[user66118]

In middle position and first in the pot, Suju Abraham raises all in for about 55,000. To his left, Lou Esposito, the defending champion, makes the all-in call, putting his own tournament life at risk.

When the cards are shown, Abraham has {K-Spades}{4-Spades} and is up against the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} of Esposito.

The community cards come out: {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and Esposito survives this battle. His tally is now back up to around 90,000, still well below average. Abraham is crippled, down to just 16,000.
