Two Bust Outs, One Double

Hand #1: In Level 17 with blinds of 3,500/7,500 and an ante of 875, "gorillagolf" opened to 28,000 in middle position and "Meinhard1988" called in the small blind. The flop fell {6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and "Meinhard1988" checked. "gorillagolf" shoved for 93,000 and "Meinhard1988" called.

"gorillagolf": {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
"Meinhard1988": {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

"Meinhard1988" needed a seven or running hearts and both chances stayed alive on the turn {k-Hearts}. However, "gorillagolf" would be the one to hit running cards as the river {k-Diamonds} further improved them to a full house, doubling in style against "Meinhard1988."

Hand #2: On an adjacent table, "under_where00" jammed under the gun for 36,000 and "POKERDORMS" re-jammed for 195,000 in the hijack to isolate all remaining players out of the pot.

"under_where00": {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
"POKERDORMS": {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Despite having live cards, no help came for "under_where00" as the board ran out {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts} to result in their elimination from the tournament.

Moments earlier, "SNARKNADO" was also eliminated from the tournament. The two eliminations brings the number of players left in the field down to 18, and just two tables now remain.
