Two players were at risk, just as hand-for-hand play got underway.
First, Ross Boatman had his stack in the middle and was put at risk by Harrison Herbert.
Ross Boatman: Q♠Q♥
Harrison Herbert: A♠Q♣
Boatman's pocket queens looked good on the 6♣9♠8♣ flop, but he was made to sweat a little on the 9♣ turn as Herbert picked up a flush draw. The A♣ river paired Herbert and gave him a flush, which meant Boatman was eliminated.
On the table adjacent, Paul Trotter was all-in and at risk for his stack of around 100,000, and he been put at risk by Ben Shannon.
Paul Trotter: K♦K♥
Ben Shannon: A♥K♠
Trotter had the best of it, but was left with just one out after the A♣J♦9♦ flop gave Shannon a pair of aces. The 7♦ turn did give Trotter a flush draw, but the 5♥ river cemented his status as one of the bubble boys.
