Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
A player in early position opened with a raise to 4,800 before Arnaud Mattern three-bet shoved for about 37,000 total. Next door, Cynthia May was working with her own short stack, and she tanked for a while before calling all in for 15,000 even. The initial raiser folded, and May said, "Well, goodbye everyone," as she stood from her chair.
Showdown
Mattern: 
May: The ol' 
Mattern was puzzled, and you probably know the rest of the story. May flopped a pair, and the board ran out 
to secure her double up. A mystified Mattern counted out his debt and slid it to his neighbor without a word, dropping down to 22,000.
"When you're short-stacked, you gotta make a move sometime," May said. "That's pot odds."
