During Hand #3 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, there were four tables in action, and two of them had all-in situations.

Once they got it all in, they waited for action to conclude at the other two tables before revealing their hole cards.

At Table #18, Daphne Diaz was all in from the big blind for 12,000 with AcJh, and she needed her hand to hold to stay alive against the Ah7h of Nicholas Carballo in the cutoff.

The board came 10c8d2cQs5d, and Diaz won the pot with her jack kicker to double up in chips.

Daphne Diaz  –  30,000  (8 bb)
Nicholas Carballo  –  55,000  (14 bb)

At Table #9, after a flop of AsJh7h, Carlos Rojas got it all in from the cutoff for 43,000 with QsJd for a pair of jacks, but he needed to improve to stay alive against the AcQh (pair of aces) of Jairo Velasquez in the big blind.

The turn card was the 6c, the river card was the 3c, and Velasquez won the pot with his pair of aces to eliminate Rojas on the Money Bubble in 20th place.

Jairo Velasquez  –  120,000  (30 bb)
