The bubble hand occurred in the first hand back from break. All of the tables still in the event were displaying their red lights to indicate that the hand was over – all except for one table at the extreme left-hand side of the group of tournament tables, in a row all by itself. A hand had developed between Murielle Viau and Alexandre Pruneau – who qualified for Day 2 on partypoker last Sunday. Alexandre was at risk and waiting for the tournament director to give the OK to continue with the hand.

on the river was the end of the road for Alexandre.
