Liam O'Rourke wasn't having any troubles over on his starting table for today, but its a different story early on his new table, with Oliver Speidel playing back at him on one of the first hands.
Speidel opened the pot to 35,000 from under the gun and the action was sent to O'Rourke on the button. He then three-bet to 83,000. It was back on Speidel and he thought for quite a while before simply announcing a quiet all in. O'Rourke immediately folded and sent the pot to Speidel.

Jim Collopy has been eliminated in 19th place. We missed the action, but according to the rail it went down like this. Collopy opened it up with a min-raise from middle position holding 
and Jason O'Brien called in the big blind holding 
.
Flop: 


On the flop, O'Brien check-called a bet and the
was dealt on the turn. This time O'Brien led and Collopy jammed all in. O'Brien called and turned his hand over. This is when Collopy left the table in disgust. After the
river was dealt, Collopy returned to the table to gather his bag and then made his way to a nearby wall to lean in anguish.
With Collopy out in 19th place, the final two tables are being redrawn
Another elimination has just occurred and it has come at the hand of Liam O'Rourke. Laurence Hall shoved all in from the button holding 
. His stack was relatively small and when O'Rourke woke up with 
in the small blind, he would re-shove. The big blind got out of the way and a 



board was spread across the felt.
With no luck for Hall, he goes home in 20th place.
