It took one blind-vs-blind premium match-up to bust Liam McMurray, the chips practically flying into the middle themselves as he shoved 
from the small blind and was snap-called by Daniel Stancer in the big blind with 
.
Stancer spiked his ace on the 
flop, and though some spade outs provided a glimmer of hope for McMurray with the 
turn, the 
river sealed his fate.

Konstantinos Patsourakis' rail was just needling him with, "He's got three chips! He's going to blind out!" when he picked up a hand - 
- and made his preflop move all in. Small blind Ali Ahmed and big blind Liam McMurray both gave him a spin, checking all the way to the river: 
.
McMurray announced, "queen," and duly showed one: 
. The river had seen Patsourakis' outdrawn; he exited with a "good luck, guys" as the cameras filmed his trip towards the cash desk.

The dramatic downturn for Jed Turnbull took final shape with his bust-out at the hands of Daniel Stancer. Turnbull had called Stancer's preflop open in the big blind to see a 
flop, which they both checked. On the 
turn, Turnbull check-raised all in (1,585,000) over Stancer's 200,000 bet. Stancer called.

First to act, first hand back after the break, Daniel Stancer shoved for 995,000 with 
. Over to small blind Jed Turnbull, who re-shoved, as one might expect - he held 
. An ace came straight away on the flop: 
and the turn and river were the irrelevant 
.
"Unlucky," admitted Stancer.
