Stokes From Short Stack to Hero
Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Gary Stokes started the day with a mere 37,000, but has since turned that into massive 280,000. His latest all in showdown was a big one, as he got it in against Erik Bloma on a 
flop, holding the 
for trips. Bloma held 
for the full house, and could all but yell "fuck sake" when he saw the 
on the turn.
No miracle quads, but the blank 
followed on the river and Bloma was gone.
Rauno Tahvonen is also no longer in contention. A few minutes ago he three-bet to 17,500 and folded to a shove, the remainder of his stack has since vanished.
