In the first seven hands of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, there was only one all-in-and-call situation, and both players turned over pocket kings. Neither made a flush, so it was a chopped pot.

In Hand #8, Aaron Pinson (pictured) is all in from the cutoff for 111,000 with Spade 9Club 9, and he needs his hand to hold to stay alive against the Spade ASpade Q of Derek Marmen in the small blind.

The board comes Diamond ADiamond QSpade 5Club 8Spade 10, and Marmen flops two pair, aces and queens, to win the pot and eliminate Pinson in 163rd place.
