With the elimination of William McClure, the remaining nine players were waiting to draw their seats for the final table while action continued on the main feature table.
Ian Simpson had opened to 40,000 under the gun and Dean Lyall called in the big blind.
Simpson continued for 26,000 on the 4♥8♦A♠ flop, and Lyall called. Simpson then moved all in on the Q♥ turn, and Lyall called for his last 226,000.
Lyall showed A♥6♥ for top pair and a flush draw, while Simpson had turned two pair with Q♠8♣. The 7♣ river was no help to Lyall, and he fell on the money bubble.
The remaining eight players are taking their seats at the final table and are now in the money.
David Docherty raised to 40,000 under the gun, William McClure moved all in for 329,000 in the small blind, and Docherty snap-called.
William McClure: 6♠6♦
David Docherty: 9♥9♦
Docherty had McClure crushed with his nines, and McClure was already walking away from the table as the board ran out Q♦10♦3♠A♦7♠. He was called back as the stacks were counted down, and it was determined Docherty had him covered to send McClure to the rail.
Level: 18
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
David Docherty raised to 32,000 under the gun and Liam McMurray called in the big blind.
The flop came 3♠2♦4♥ and Docherty bet 22,000. McMurray called to the 9♠ turn, and they both checked to the Q♠ river.
Docherty then bet 132,000, and McMurray gave up his hand this time.
David Docherty managed to double up his short stack once before he shoved again for 84,000 in the cutoff. William Henderson called in the small blind.
David Docherty: 4♦4♣
William Henderson: K♠7♦
Docherty was racing for his tournament life, and the A♣A♥9♠Q♠6♦ board kept him in the lead and earned him yet another double up.
Ian Simpson raised to 32,000 under the gun, Matthew Adam moved all in for 270,000 in the small blind, and Simpson called.
Matthew Adam: J♣J♦
Ian Simpson: Q♥Q♦
Adam was crushed by Simpson's queens as the flop came A♣10♣6♥. "Clubs. Queen of clubs," Simpson reassured Adam, but no miracles arrived for Adam on the 7♠ turn or 4♥ river as he was sent to the rail.
