Niall Campbell raised to 65,000 before Aidan Quinlan three-bet to 170,000 from the next seat. After pondering for a few moments, Campbell shoved to put Quinlan all-in. Quinlan snap-called.
Aidan Quinlan: K♥K♠
Niall Campbell: Q♥Q♣
Quinlan looked poised to become one of the chip leaders of the tournament. The 9♠3♦3♣ flop meant only a queen would end Quinlan's tournament. The brutal Q♦ peeled off on the turn to give Campbell a full house, and the 6♦ fell on the river, meaning Quinlan was eliminated in a horrible fashion.

Austin Putnam-Johnson opened to 60,000 from early position and Niall Campbell three-bet to 150,000 from middle position. Steven Frew four-bet to 500,000 and Putnam-Johnson folded, but Campbell shoved to put Frew all-in. Frew snap-called.
Steven Frew: K♠K♣
Niall Campbell: A♦A♣
Frew was in horrible shape against the aces. The A♠3♥3♦ flop left him virtually drawing dead. The K♦ hit the turn to give Frew a chance at a one-outer on the river. Howver it didn't come as the 4♠ fell and Frew was out.
