Giang Doubles Short Stack

In a recent hand at Steve Dannenman's and Chau Giang's table a player moved all in on the button after everyone else had folded. Dannenman in the small blind quickly folded, Giang in the big blind opted to take his time though. After about a minute or two of calculating and chip measuring Giang threw in the proper amount of chips for a call and cards were tabled.

Giang: {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Button: {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Giang had the slight lead, but there were still five cards to come. The dealer put out a {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop and it was the button who now had the lead. Giang would need running cards for a straight or an ace in order for him to steal back the hand. The turn was a {7-Hearts} and Giang was drawing dead as his opponent tripped up. A meaningless {5-Diamonds} fell out of the deck for the river. Giang took a hit, but still has a manageable 38,000 in chips to maneuver with.
