The clock was put on hold while the Tournament Director instructed the dealers to go in hand-per-hand mode. This is standard procedure when approaching the last few spots before the payouts, commonly reffered to as the “bubble”. Some players wanted to make a deal to pay the bubble, but the proposal was rejected by a few of the players. Since this must be a unanimous decision the play continued.
After only a few minutes, there was a hand involving an all-in that was called on table #35. Short stack Sergio De Dominicis was all-in and had received a call from Pierre-Luc Gaudreau. When all the action was completed on the other tables, they got the go-ahead from the Director to table their hands.
Sergio: 
Pierre-Luc: 
Community cards: 
Both players hit the ten on the turn, but the river paired-up Pierre-Luc’s second card. So armed with two pairs Gaudreau knocked out Sergio De Dominicis on the bubble.
