Hand-for-hand mode has been activated two spots off the money and as many minutes will be taken off the clock for every hand from now on until the bubble bursts. The chip race of the T-500 denominations will take place after the first hand, as there is just 1.17 minutes remaining on the current level.

The player in middle position opened to 11,000. Gerard Cassis, from one seat over raised to 23,000. Action folded back to the player in middle position who shoved for around 650,000. Cassis made the call, putting at risk his last 113,000.

Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The board ran {3-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Cassis survived, two away from the money.
