In Hand #13 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, Nicholas Carballo got it all in from the big blind for 57,000 with 6s6d, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against the Ad8s of Hanan Ben Abu in the cutoff.

The board comes 10h9d7d7s6h, and Abu rivers a ten-high straight, but the same card gives Carballo a full house, sixes full of sevens, to win the pot and double up in chips.

Nicholas Carballo  –  126,000  (16 bb)
Hanan Ben Abu  –  104,000  (13 bb)

There was an elimination at another table, so the remaining players are bagging up their chips for Day 2.
