Osmany Saldanas was short-stacked and all in preflop against two other players, with 20,000 already in the side pot.

The flop came 10h8c5s, the first player checked, Darrell Harmon bet 45,000 from the button, and his opponent folded. Harmon took the side pot.

For the main pot, Saldanas turned over 10d9c for a pair of tens, but he needed to improve to stay alive against Harmon’s As10s — pair of tens with an ace kicker.

The turn card was the Qc, the river card was the Kd, and Harmon won the pot to eliminate Saldanas in 169th place.
