a scenario under dispute

I have no idea how you can wonder how he can call or shove. He has a pair of 8s with the ace high flush draw. Vs your hand right now, an 8, an ace, or a diamond or hell, any card other than a jack queen 10 or 6 and he wins lol I wouldnt hesitate to fold this, because hes not on a flush draw. The real question is, putting your whole chip stack on a str8 draw? Hes ahead and if he pushed he made the right call.

He's severely shortstacked and has two overs and a straight draw?

like vanquish points out his shove was correct play with OESD and 2 overs.

Well, I typed my post very hurridly and did neglect to say that both players did make the correct play and yes, I would do the same in both situations. The str8 draw with the overs is a great hand to be drawing with, I was just illustrating the point of he was talking about the guy risking those chips with the pair/flush draw and I was just trying to say that the 2 overs with the str8 is almost the same thing.
