Jared Jaffee: ![]()

Jeff Gross was all-in with a short stack on the button on the stone money bubble against John Gallaher in the big blind and the player in the cutoff.
The flop came out ![]()
![]()
and both players checked. Gallaher bet out on the
turn and the player in the cutoff folded.
Gross and Gallaher kept their hands face-down as the floor confirmed that there were no other hands in progress, and both players took video of the situation.
"Am I really going to bust on the bubble with top set?" Gross said. "He has his mobile device out, I have to be behind."
Jeff Gross: ![]()
![]()
John Gallaher: ![]()
![]()
Sure enough, Gross had top set but was behind the flush of his opponent. Gross needed the board to pair to be saved from elimination on the bubble but it didn't happen as the
peeled off on the river.
