Aaron Mermelstein and Thomas Middleton got all of the chips into the middle preflop on the stone bubble, with Mermelstein's tournament life at risk.

Aaron Mermelstein: 9?9?
Thomas Middleton: A?K?

With the crowd gathered around, the Tournament Director signaled to the dealer to run out the cards and the flop came 10?10?K? to instantly give Middleton the lead. The board completed with the 8?4? to seal Mermelstein's fate and he was eliminated on the stone money bubble.
