Thomas Midena

In Hand #7 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, three players see a flop of Club ADiamond 8Heart 5 with 48,000 already in the pot. Soomnath Datta bets 30,000 from the small blind, Ian Monahoyios folds the big blind, and Thomas Midena (pictured) moves all in from the cutoff for 92,500.

Datta snap-calls with Spade AHeart 7 for a pair of aces, but Midena turns over Heart ADiamond Q for a pair of aces with a higher kicker. Midena needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the Heart 10, the river card is the Club 8, and Midena wins the pot with two pair, aces and eights with a queen kicker, to double up in chips.

Thomas Midena  –  233,000  (39 bb)
Soomnath Datta  –  562,000  (94 bb)
