Tomas Petru opened to 40,000 in early position, and a player behind him three-bet shoved for 197,000 total. When it folded back around to Petru, he asked for the count. “I guess that’s good news,” the short stack said. “I must be ahead.” When he learned the number, Petru called.

Petru: 6s6d
Opponent: Ah5s

“Maybe not,” the at-risk player said.
