In the first hand of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, there were two all-in-and-call situations.

At Table 25, Khari Hutchings was all in from UTG+1 with KhKd, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the As5s of Tal Avivi in the small blind.

The board came 7d7c6c3c10h, and Avivi picked up a gutshot straight draw on the turn, but improved no further. Hutchings won the pot with his pocket kings to double up in chips.

Khari Hutchings  –  268,000  (67 bb)
Tal Avivi  –  194,000  (49 bb)

At Table 33, the player in the cutoff was all in for 31,000 with AcQs, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the QhQc of James Reynolds in the big blind.

The board came Jh10c3c9c5s, and the cutoff flopped a gutshot straight draw and turned an open-ended straight draw with an ace-high flush draw. But he missed all of his outs on the river, and Reynolds won the pot with his pocket queens to eliminate his opponent on the Money Bubble.

James Reynolds  –  222,000  (28 bb)

So with the Money Bubble burst, Flight E comes to an end, and the remaining 86 players are bagging and tagging their chips for Day 2, where everyone will be in the money.
