Liam O'Rourke wasn't having any troubles over on his starting table for today, but its a different story early on his new table, with Oliver Speidel playing back at him on one of the first hands.
Speidel opened the pot to 35,000 from under the gun and the action was sent to O'Rourke on the button. He then three-bet to 83,000. It was back on Speidel and he thought for quite a while before simply announcing a quiet all in. O'Rourke immediately folded and sent the pot to Speidel.
The first elimination of the final two tables has just occurred. The player in question was Jason Pritchard and he got his stack all in preflop holding 
. Gordon Huntly was in the blinds when he woke up with and the two players would see some cards dealt on the felt.
The board was spread 
, with Pritchard eliminated in 18th place for a $7,837 score.

Jim Collopy has been eliminated in 19th place. We missed the action, but according to the rail it went down like this. Collopy opened it up with a min-raise from middle position holding 
and Jason O'Brien called in the big blind holding 
.
Flop: 
On the flop, O'Brien check-called a bet and the 
was dealt on the turn. This time O'Brien led and Collopy jammed all in. O'Brien called and turned his hand over. This is when Collopy left the table in disgust. After the 
river was dealt, Collopy returned to the table to gather his bag and then made his way to a nearby wall to lean in anguish.
With Collopy out in 19th place, the final two tables are being redrawn
