It was announced that when they got down to 10 players (the actual bubble) they would play two five-handed tables, hand for hand. At the players' request, though, they decided to go hand for hand with 11 players left. Action may slow down a little, with the difference between 9th and 10th places being the difference between going home with over £50,000 and going home empty-handed.
