Bubble Bursts Surprisingly

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

With the clock showing 180 players and 171 of them finishing in the money, dealers were instructed to stop dealing after the hand to initiate hand-over-hand.

However, once the exact tally was made after the hand, it turned out there were exactly 171 players left! No bubble action, no hand-over-hand, but all remaining players secured a cash of at least €802 just like that.

Thunderous cheers sounded from the room and people clapped in excitement over the unexpected turn of events.
