After about 50 minutes of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, one of the short stacks moved all in for 55,000, and Tom Guedj quickly called.

Short-Stacked Player:  AcQc9d8d

A few minutes later, Mathyeu Provost was eliminated in 11th place, and the final 10 players combined to the final table.
