With the tournament field quickly whittled down to 350 players, the tournament director instructed the dealers to complete the hand they were on and to hold up for hand for hand play.
The money will be reached after two more eliminations.
Steven Mccartney was already all in for his last 121,000 versus Dinesh Alt next to him who had made the call with the bigger stack:
Steven Mccartney: Q♠Q♥ 
Dinesh Alt: K♥10♥
The board came without any bad surprise for Mccartney with 3♠8♣2♥4♠2♦ and he received the needed double up.

During hand-for-hand play Justin Lett went all in and was called by Samuel Rosborough.
Justin Lett: J♠J♣
Samuel Rosborough: A♥A♦
Lett was the only one in the room who was all in and at risk so when the 6♠7♠2♦K♣2♠ ran out, he was left to leave the tournament area empty handed and hand-for-hand play resumed.

There were four all in and calls on hand #4 of hand-for-hand play on the money bubble. Three players were eliminated during the bubble.
Table 1:
On the first table, Martin Mathis was all in for a stack worth 134,000 and was against Johnnie Moreno who had him covered.
Martin Mathis: A♦K♣
Johnnie Moreno: J♥J♠
It was a typical flip situation. The dealer fanned a board 5♥10♣J♦9♠K♥ giving a set of jacks to Moreno to bust Mathis at the bubble.
Table 2:
Joe Cada was forced all in on the bubble as he sat with just a stack of 7,000 chips before the hand.
Ronnie Day called from an early position, and Iraklis Manikaros also limped from the small blind.
The 5♦A♥6♣ flop was checked down to the K♠ turn and again to the 2♦ river.
Day bet 6,000 prompting Manikaros to fold, leaving the players heads-up at showdown.
Joe Cada: 7♥7♠
Ronnie Day: A♣J♠
It was Day who took the pot as he picked up top pair on the flop, sending Cada to the rail.
Table 3:
Michel Molenaar was also eliminated from the tournament after getting in pocket queens against Hajime Watanabe's pocket kings and missing on the 7♦8♦5♥6♠3♥ board. Molenaar chopped two minimum payouts with the other two players.
Michel Molenaar: Q♣Q♦
Hajime Watanabe: K♥K♦
