Photo: Allie Prescott (left) shakes hands with Jason Koon after being eliminated on the money bubble.
Allie Prescott raises to 12,000 from late position and Jason Koon announces he is all-in from the small blind. Prescott quickly calls, and no one at the tables realizes that it is Prescott who is all-in for his last 80,000 or so, while Koon has around 140,000.
Koon has the best hand with [JcJh] and Prescott trails with [9h9s]. The board runs ou [8d7h3h4c7d], giving Prescott no help.
It is only when Prescott taps the table and starts to wish everyone luck that his tablemates realize Prescott is the bubble boy and everyone else is now guaranteeed at least a $25,056 payday.
Jason Koon – 235,000 (47 BBs)
Allie Prescott – eliminated in 28th place ($0)
