Brian McCool moved all in from the cutoff for around 45,000. Josef Schusteritsch called on the button and both blinds folded.
Brian McCool: A♠A♥
Josef Schusteritsch: 7♠7♣
"A good time to get them" said McCool as the dealer fanned the flop of 7♥3♦Q♣ which catapulted Schusteritsch into the lead, leaving McCool with two outs. He couldn't find an ace on the 9♥ turn and the 2♣ river confirmed his exit from the tournament.
Timothy Slater was all in and at risk in the small blind versus the covering stack of Simon Levy in the big blind.
Timothy Slater: 3♠3♦
Simon Levy: 7♦7♥
There was no sweat for Levy across the A♣6♠Q♥J♣Q♣ as he made a superior two pair to eliminate Slater
