Ace-High Flops Busts Burland and Vasvenszki
There were two more eliminations that happened in Level 6 prior to the break. The first happened when a preflop raising war between Nial Farrell in the small blind and Jamie Burland in the big resulted in the latter being all in for roughly 16,000. Burland was ahead with the , but he was flipping against Farrell's .
The flop was disaster for Burland as it paired Farrell's ace. Burland needed a queen to win the pot or running diamonds to chop, but the chop option disappeared wen the turn. Burland needed a queen on the river to survive, but it wasn't in the cards as the rolled off.
The other elimination came when Zsolt Vasvenszki got his stack of about 40,000 all in preflop holding and was well out in front of Kyle Maguire's . The Hungarian was primed to double into the chip lead, but the flop delivered a fatal blow by pairing Maguire's ace. The turn actually left Vasvenszki drawing dead, and after the was run out on the river for good measure, he watched as the stacks were verified before exiting the tournament floor.
