In the first four hands on the Money Bubble, there were no all-in situations, and no big hands.

In Hand #5, Khabat Jahany moves all in from middle position for 77,000, Thomas Hofmann moves all in over the top from the cutoff for 128,000, and WPT Global qualifier Gylbert Drolet calls all in from the small blind for 125,000.

Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Thomas Hofmann:  
Gylbert Drolet:  
Khabat Jahany:  

The board comes , and Drolet wins the pot with a flopped set of aces to double thru Hofmann and eliminate Jahany on the Money Bubble in 22nd place. Hofmann survives with just 3,000 in chips — a single small blind.

Gylbert Drolet  –  339,000  (57 bb)
Thomas Hofmann  –  3,000  (<1 bb) Khabat Jahany  -  Eliminated on the Money Bubble
