Get Short? Stand Tall!
A very short-stacked Randal Flowers went all-in for his last 975 from early position. Action folded around to the big blind player, who called.
Flowers:
Opponent:
The board ran out and Flowers doubled.
Amusingly, we noticed that Flowers had been standing the entire time, apparently ready to leave as soon as he busted. After doubling, however, he said, "Maybe I'll just keep on standing. That's the trick to winning all-ins."
True to his word, Flowers remained standing and folded five hands in a row.
However, on the sixth hand, an opponent opened or 650 from early position and Flowers re-raised all-in for 1,750. Everyone folded back around to the original raiser, who called.

Opponent:
The board ran out and Flowers' superior kicker doubled him (again) to 3,800.
Perhaps feeling he had a playable stack again, Flower decided to sit back down....for now.
