There was a short stack all in, close to the bubble, during hand for hand play. It folded to Ryan Depaulo on the button who opted to just call. The Blinds both folded and when the cards hit their back the tables saw that Depaulo was getting cagey with the blinds left to act.
All-in Player: A♠10♦
Ryan Depaulo: K♥K♠
The board ran out 5♥J♠9♥Q♥9♦ and Depaulo claims a pelt just a few players away from the money.
