In the first hand of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, the player on the button moved all in for 54,000, and Anthony Askey called from the big blind with Ad6h.

The button turned over Ah10c, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

But the board came Jd8d8h4d7d, and Askey rivered an ace-high diamond flush to win the pot and eliminate his opponent on the Money Bubble.
