During the first hand of hand-for-hand play, the bubble has burst.

There were two all-ins during the first hand.

On the first table:

The flop read {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Michael York in the big blind was all in. Rafael Moreas on the button was in the hand too and had York covered.

York: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Moraes: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The turn came {2-Hearts} and the {8-Hearts} on the river completed the board. York doubled up.

On the second table:

On the table, we already had the {8-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades} on the flop. Alexandru Masek in mid-position was in danger as he was all in. Frank Hanks on the button had him covered.

Hanks: {K-}{K-}
Masek: {A-}{A-}

Masek needed an ace to survive the bubble but the {Q-Spades}{3-Clubs} did not provide him with any help so he, unfortunately, became the bubble boy.
