Aaron Massey Blindly Triples Up; Kelly Winterhalter Eliminated

Action folded around to Kelly Winterhalter in the cutoff, and she moved all in for about 13,500. The player in the small blind moved all in over top, and Aaron Massey, who appeared to have lost a big pot in the hand before, blindly moved all in from the big blind for his remaining 1,825 chips.

Winterhalter tabled {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}, the small blind then showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and Massey slowly peeled over {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The entire table erupted in laughter, and Massey stood up in shock after waking up to kings after being all in blind. Both Massey and Winterhalter were at risk, with the small blind having both of them well covered.

The board ran out {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and Massey tripled up to scoop the main pot, while Winterhalter was eliminated and the small blind raked in the bigger side pot.
