Montoya Gets To Keep His Aces
The action folded around to Eduardo Montoya on the button who had only a single 1,000 chip left. He was pondering his decision before a player in the small blind told the dealer one of Montoya's cards were exposed. The rest of the table didn't see it before they folded and the tournament staff was called over to make a ruling.
The rule was that since there was action, Montoya's card would be exposed and he could play out the hand. He elected to move all in for 1,000 and the small blind raised to push the big blind out of the hand.
Eduardo Montoya: A♥A♠
Small Blind: A♣8♠
The table erupted in laugher as they saw that Montoya had aces and was able to keep them without receiving a new card. The board ran out 10♦7♠3♠6♣7♣, and the aces held up to keep Montoya alive as the money bubble fast approaches.
