A preflop confrontation saw Steve Morey get his stack all in preflop and flipping against Mike Rushton.
Steve Morey: Q♣Q♦
Mike Rushton: A♣K♠
It was a race and Morey was looking to hold to double. That proved easier said that done however as the A♠10♣9♠ flop paired Rushton's ace.
Neither the 4♠ turn nor J♦ river helped Morey and he was eliminated from the tournament.

In the 885th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England discuss the biggest pot in High Stakes Poker history, a $1.4 million monster won by Alan Keating. That led to a bigger discussion on the state of televised poker and the game's modern vs. old-school characters.
The crew also discusses the report that Phil Hellmuth apparently missed out on an $80 million payday after declining to invest $15,000 into a company, the status of Doug Polk's "Code Doug" challenge, and recent tournament winners including Daniel Negreanu and Chino Rheem. Oh, they also took a look at some of the best April Fools' Day pranks from the poker world, including one from PokerNews featuring Nik Airball.
Chad then offers a glimpse into his recent run in the MSPT Riverside. Everyone shares their thoughts on the 2025 Wynn Summer Classic schedule. In a new round of Collusion Mind Meld, Mike and Kyna try to get on the same page. Despite some early struggles, they do manage to hit their stride.
