During hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, Marc Sacheli and Steven Pollack made it to a flop of AhAd7s in PLO-8.

Pollack got it all in for 37,000, and when action completed on the other two tables, they turned over their cards:

Marc Sacheli:  AsKd10c4s  (trip aces)
Steven Pollack:  Ac9h5c2s  (trip aces, 7-5 low draw)

Both players had trip aces, but Sacheli had the higher kicker. Pollack had the only low draw (Sacheli needed runner-runner), and needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 10d, the river card was the 2d, and since neither player made a qualifying low hand, Sacheli won the entire pot with a higher full house, aces full of tens. Pollack was eliminated on the Money Bubble in 21st place.

Marc Sacheli  –  110,000  (14 bb)
Steven Pollack  –  Eliminated on the Money Bubble

The remaining 20 players are in the money, guaranteed at least $1,040 each.
