During the Money Bubble of the Seniors event, there were no all-in-and-call situations until Hand #9, when the short stack doubled up with deuces against ace-queen.

In Hand #10, two out of four tables had all-in-and-call situations, but they had to wait to resolve their hands because one of the other two tables had a player shove on the river, and his opponent tanked for a long time.

Eventually, that player folded, and then the short stacks at the other two tables both doubled up. (Pocket fives held against ace-jack, and pocket nines held against king-nine.)

The next all-in-and-call situation came in Hand #12, when pocket aces held up against pocket fours.

The Money Bubble continues …

With 31 players remaining from a field of 238, the average chip stack is around 154,000 (26 big blinds). The field is on the Money Bubble, with a min-cash of $550 for the final 30 players.
