In Hand #18 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, Philipp Meier raises to 13,000 in early position and is met with a jam for approximately 110,000 from Alain Michel Lafon in the small blind. Meier happily calls and rolls over the goods.

Lafon is in rough shape to avoid being the first of six Day 1 bubbles this week, and after the runout, Meier turns Lafon dead with a third ace to send the final fifteen players on to Day 2 and into the money.
