Action was heads up with 1,000 and {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} 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 {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a pair of tens, but Nielson had {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} to take the lead with the better kicker.

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} 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.
