With 46 players remaining, and 45 players getting paid, the tournament is on it's official bubble and hand for hand play has started. During hand for hand play, players are not allowed to use their cell phones, can't watch the stream to see what's going on on other tables, and aren't allowed to get up to see for themselves either. Strict rules now, penalties await those who break them.
