The biggest name left in the field busted shortly before the dinner break in 22nd place. Sinclair played two big hands in the last level that spelt his demise.

The first one was a clash against Daniel Aaberg that left Sinclair behind with around 20 big blinds. Sinclair raised from under the gun with {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Aaberg three-bet two seats over from a stack of around 30 big blinds. Sinclair had around 50 bigs and called.

The flop was {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Sinclair check-called around a quarter pot from Aaberg. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Sinclair checked again. Aaberg wasted no time and snap-checked behind with around 80% of the pot in his stack left.

On the {6-Clubs} river, Sinclair shipped top pair and Aaberg instantly called with {A-Spades}{6-Spades} for the rivered trip sixes.

In the final hand before the dinner break, Sinclair had 26 big blinds when he raised {A-Spades}{10-Spades} from the small blind. His opponent three-bet shoved {A-}{Q-} and Sinclair called. The Brit's out got improved to a straight flush draw on the turn but he bricked the river to end up in 22nd place (€2,690).
