A player in early position moved all in for 17,100, and the player next to act re-shoved for about 75,000 total. Action froze on Mukul Pahuja in the small blind for about a minute, and he eventually called all in for 21,100 to put himself at risk. When the big blind folded, the cards were turned up.

Player 1: JdTd
Player 2: AhQc
Pahuja: 8s8h

The KdTc5c flop gave the first shove-r the lead with a pair of tens, and the 7d on the turn gave him a bit of extra protection with the only flush draw. The river was the 8c, though, and Pahuja stole the pot away with a set of eights. He nearly tripled up with that one-outer, eliminating the short stack in the process.

Mukul Pahuja – 62,500 (39 bb)
