In Hand #5 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, the player in the big blind was all in against Jesse Lonis in the small blind and Spencer Champlin in late position.

Lonis and Champlin checked all the way down on a board of KsKcQhJh7c, and all three players showed their cards:

Jesse Lonis:  Jd3h  (two pair, kings and jacks)
Spencer Champlin:  Ah2c  (ace high)
Big Blind:  8c2h  (eight high)

Lonis won the pot with his two pair to eliminate the player in the big blind in 18th place, bursting the Money Bubble.

Jesse Lonis  –  140,000  (23 bb)
Spencer Champlin  –  65,000  (11 bb)

A few minutes later, Champlin moved all in from the cutoff for about 65,000, and Lonis moved all in over the top with AsQd. Champlin turned over Qs10c, and he was dominated as he faced elimination.

The board came KhQh3s6dAd, and Lonis won the pot with two pair, aces and queens, to eliminate Champlin in 16th place.

Jesse Lonis  –  207,000  (35 bb)
Spencer Champlin  –  Eliminated in 16th Place  ($5,521)
