The 2022 PokerNews Cup at Golden Nugget has been a rousing success, easily surpassing the $1 million guarantee, and there's one hand that will probably be talked about for quite some time.
During Monday's Day 2 session in the $1,100 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament, an odd flop appeared at one of the tables on the very first hand. The flop came out , , and Joker. Yes, a Joker was somehow left in the deck, and one player seated at another table captured the hand on video, which was then posted on the PokerNews YouTube channel.
Action was heads up with 1,000 and in the middle when the big blind checked to Allen Nielson on the button with the short stack. Nielson shoved his last 2,800 and the big blind called.
His opponent turned over for a pair of tens, but Nielson had to take the lead with the better kicker.
The board ran out and Nielson held on to secure the double with a pair of tens.
Nielson ran to 145th place to cash in this year's Seniors Event, and he's building on a 2021 WSOP where he finished 48th in the Super Seniors and had a deep run to 534th in the Main Event.
