When the field got down to 57 players, the tournament staff announced for every table to finish the hand in progress so hand-for-hand play could begin on the Money Bubble.

But one of those hands in progress had a player all in from the button with 2x2x, and in a big hole against the KhKd of Eric Kolodny in the small blind.

The board came Jh7s7dJsAh, and the pocket kings held up for Kolodny to win the pot and eliminate his opponent on the Money Bubble.

The remaining 56 players are bagging and tagging their chip stacks for Day 2, which begins on Sunday at 1:00 pm.
