Tom Tracy pushed all-in for just 26,000 and Joshua Merrin then reshoved from one seat over, which sent the big blind deep into the tank with a short stack. The clock was called and the big blind folded.
Tom Tracy: 
Joshua Merrin: 
The 
flop improved Tracy to the superior two pair but he fell behind on the 
turn. However, there was another twist with the 
river as Tracy escaped in roller coaster fashion.
