Just a few hands after forming the final table, there was a three way all-in between Michael Hucker, who was the short-stack, holding AJ; Ilya Nudelman, who was second in chips and held A9; and big stack Jeff Morris, who held pocket 8s.
Michael Hucker and Ilya Nudelman
Michael was all-in pre-flop. The other two got their chips in on the flop of A 9 8. Everyone got a peice of that, but Jeff's flopped set was boss. The last two were 5 7 and changed nothing. Jeff got the double knock-out.
Since Michael started the hand with fewer chips, he gets the 10th place finish ($1,491). Ilya finished in 9th place, earning $2,295.
