With the money bubble looming over the head of very short-stacked Russell Hudson found himself in an unfavorable position with a short stack in the big blind that ate most of it.

Patricia Gallagher raised from under the gun and was called by Adam Tyburski. Hudson went all in for his remaining 12,000, creating a smaller side pot between Gallagher and Tyburski.

Gallagher and Tyburski checked down on the K♦3♣A♣Q♥9♠ board. Gallagher showed 10♠10♥ and Tyburski showed the same hand with 10♣10♦. Hudson jubilantly rolled over his A♦6♥, pounded the table, and exclaimed, "Yes!" as he scooped the main pot for a triple.
