Debals Last Stand Falls Short

Level 13: 1,000 / 2,500 ante: 2,500
Dorian Debals

Dorian Debals had been battling with a short stack for most of the past two levels, and though he managed to double up twice, the pressure from surrounding big stacks never let up. On his final hand, Debals shoved for 17,500 and was called by Maxim Sorokin. It was a classic flip at showdown, but luck didn’t swing Debals’ way, missing his outs to get sent to the rail.
