The aftermath of the final hand dealt on the bubble, with Tony Ruberto's pocket jacks the only hand remaining face up.

Hand-for-hand play lasted a total of (13) hands, and about thirty minutes of real time, with Tony Ruberto sending the field into the money.  The action played out at Table 1, with Greg Garvy open shoving for 21,000, and Michael Marks re-shoving for just over 60,000.  Action then folded to Ruberto (in the small blind), who peeled his cards back, before dumping a pile of chips across his cards.  Kevin Boyle released his hand, and the three players would table their hands:

Ruberto: J♦ J♥
Garvy: A♣ J♠
Marks: A♥ Q♠

Runout: J♣ 6♥ 4♦ 6♣ 10♥

Tony found the case jack on the flop, which left both of his opponents drawing to running outs.  After the board paired on the turn, the hand would be over, and both players would be eliminated.  Since Michael Marks had the larger of the two eliminated stacks, he would receive 22nd place money, while Garvy headed to the exits empty handed.
