After the elimination of WPT Anchor in 11th place, it’s time to begin hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, but there is already a hand in progress at the other table.

Juan Carlos Orozco moves all in from the cutoff for 45,000, and Phil Ivey calls from the big blind with Spade 6Heart 5. Orozco turns over Spade 3Heart 3, and needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board comes Heart 8Club 5Spade 2Heart 9Heart 10, and Ivey pairs his five on the flop to win the pot and eliminate Orozco in 10th place, bursting the Money Bubble without the need for hand-for-hand play.
