Matthew McEwan Eliminated in 24th Place (€40,050)
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Matthew McEwan raised to 100,000 from the hijack before Thomas Eychenne three-bet to 225,000 from the button. When it got back to McEwan, he four-bet jammed for 950,000, and Eychenne snap-called to put him at risk.
Matthew McEwan: A♠K♠ 
Thomas Eychenne: A♥A♣
McEwan was on the wrong end of a cooler and needed a lot of help from the dealer, or he would be out of the Main Event.
The dealer put down a flop of J♠J♥5♥, keeping Eychenne's aces in the lead. McEwan couldn't pick up any backdoor draws on the 2♦ turn, which left him drawing dead. A Q♣ river completed the board and McEwan headed to the rail in 24th place.
