In an unusual turn of events, the Megastack Turbo Re-entry dispensed with the money bubble without resorting to hand-for-hand play.

The remaining players were all playing tightly-restricted ranges once the field was reduced to two tables, but they reached the money faster than anyone thought possible. The field was taken beyond the money bubble thanks to three, nearly simultaneous eliminations. On table 32, one player was all in with his small blind, and two players moved all in before the action reached the blinds. At the same time, on neighbouring table 28, it only took two to tango in a preflop heads-up all in. In each case, the largest stack involved emerged victorious, leading to a double elimination on table 32 and a single elimination on table 28 to bring the field from 15 players down to 12 and into the money.
