Dineen Eliminated in Brutal Fashion

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Trevor Dineen got his final chips in the middle from the small blind against Daryl McAleenan in the hijack.

Tevor Dineen: AJ
Daryl McAleenan: A5

Dineen was looking good to double up, but the 55J flop saw McAleenan take the lead with trips. Dineen could still hit a jack to scoop the pot, but it did not arrive on the 7 turn or 10 river.

He left the tournament dejectedly, while McAleenan chipped up to an average stack.

Bennett Busts Fitzgerald

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Mark Bennett
Mark Bennett

Patrick Fitzgerald's stay in Day 2 was unfortunately short lived, as he three-bet jammed his stack of 48,000 from the big blind versus Mark Bennett's early position open in the first hand of the day. Bennett asked for the count and made the quick call.

Patrick Fitzgerald:A2
Mark Bennett: AJ

Fitzgerald was in bad shape with a dominated ace, and was drawing extremely thin after the J73 flop. The 3 turn sealed his fate and the A river completed the board.
