Hoa Ngo, short-stacked for some time, moves all in in late position and finds Stuart Nash, also a relative short stack, shoving over the top in the small blind. Big blind Jim Kerrigan sighs, and passes pocket jacks face up. There is some expression of surprise around the table. Ngo turns over and Nash turns over ; Kerrigan receives a bit of a ribbing from his tablemates and the two who got their chips in are racing.
Board:
Ngo doubles up to 6,000, Kerrigan sighs and Nash makes a face like the proverbial bulldog chewing the proverbial wasp.
