In Hand #16 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, there were two all-in-and-call situations at different tables.

At Table #3, Gary Lin raises under the gun to 19,000, Tomas Molina De La Maza reraises from the hijack to 65,000, and Ali Ghezelbash moves all in from the cutoff for 66,000. Lin moves all in over the top, and De La Maza uses his last four Time Chips to tank for more than two minutes before he calls.
