Selim Souissi bubbled a Side Event on the feature stage last night and also missed out on the money in the Main Event as well.
Down to around 13 blinds, he got it in with the 10♣10♠ only for Seunghun Ko to look him up with the A♠A♥.
The J♠9♥2♦6♣4♣ board provided no help for the Japan resident and Souissi left the tournament area.

"Ah, that's why you didn't raise," David Erquiaga joked towards the married couple Hua Wei Lin and Nevan Chang on the other side of the table after he had jammed a short stack out of the blinds with the 9♣3♣, because Lin snapped him off with the J♦J♥.
The board ran out Q♦J♠3♠Q♠3♥ and Erquiaga grinned "ah, setup hand" as he made an inferior full house.

Dylan Foster battled with Jimmy Torres as they already invested plenty of chips to the J♥7♣5♦8♦A♠ river on which Foster jammed with the covering stack. Torres called for the 57,000 he had behind and was good with the A♦Q♦, as Foster only flashed the 10♥10♣ for an inferior pair.
Soon after, Foster was all-in before the flop for the last 44,000 against Chit Chuan Lim.
Dylan Foster: A♣K♥
Chit Chuan Lim: J♠J♥
The 8♣6♥4♦A♥2♣ board improved the Aussie on the turn to stay in contention.
