Rishab Doubles Up To Build A Fighting Stack

Rishab Malik, the short stack on Table 7, had a dream hand at Level 10, blinds 1,000/1,500. Malik did just what a short-stacked player would do. He shoved his remaining stack of close to 9 BB preflop, holding pocket fives. Samay Singh Modi called from the big blind. The board showed 7h 2d 9c Jd 3d, and Mailk doubled up with his five-pair, while Modi, with intentions of busting the short stack, ended up giving away some decent chips holding Q3 of spades.

• Malik: 5s 5h
• Modi: Qs 3s
• Board: 7h 2d 9c Jd 3d
