Bubble hands tend to be dramatic just because one player is at risk of going home with nothing while the rest of the players in the field will get a payday. Now imagine how electrifying it is when it's in a major tournament like the Aussie Millions and between Gary Benson, an Australian Poker Hall of Famer, and the legendary Phil Ivey.
Benson got his last 50,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Ivey. The hand was halted until action finished at all the other tables, which gave the railbirds plenty of time to circle Table 10 in preparation for the action. When it was time for the cards to be flipped up, Benson rolled over

That meant Benson needed to avoid an ace, nine and jack on the river to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, and much to the astonishment of the rail, the spiked on the river to give Ivey the straight! Benson turned away from the table to mask his disappointment, but the veteran soon turned back around, wished the table good luck, and then made a gracious exit from the 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event.
