The players returned from break with 92 players remaining, and soon after that, Mahmoud Hamed entered the pot from under the gun, the UTG+1 player moved all in for 41,000, and Hamed called with As10h.

The UTG+1 player turned over AhKs, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

But the board came 7d5s2h2s10c, and Hamed spiked a ten on the river to win the pot and eliminate his opponent.

At that point, every table was told to stop after the current hand is finished, so the field could begin hand-for-hand play. But two more players were eliminated during that time, so by the time all the tables had finished, the Money Bubble had already burst.

So only 89 players will advance to Day 2 from this flight, where they will finish in the money.
