Short Stacks Catch Shove Fever; Tough Break for Kara Scott

[user46298]

The shorter stacks have been routinely moving in; in the last 15 minutes Christer Johansson's done it preflop twice (no call) and so has Kara Scott. Hovering around 110,000, Scott was in good shape for a double-up both times, but it didn't quite work out that way.

Scott was all in preflop the first time and only big blind Lee Brooke-Pearce was giving some thought to calling. He asked for a countdown and looked serious about his hand. After a minute of so he passed, though, showing {7-Clubs}

. He was rewarded by Scott revealing she had {10-Hearts}

.

Moments later, Albert Iversen had come into the hand under the gun (I missed whether it was a raise or a flat-call) and Kara Scott's stack was back in the middle, this time called by Iversen with {A-Clubs}
