Eric Blair: Q♠Q♣
Chidwick would need lots of help to stay alive, but he could not find any once the board ran out 3♦10♥10♦10♠A♣ to give the pot to Blair, as Chidwick quickly left the tournament area.

: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Chad Eveslage raised to 50,000 from the button with 10♦8♦, and was called by the big blind John Riordan with 9♥7♣.
The flop came 10♠10♥J♦ and Riordan, who flopped a straight draw check-called a bet of 35,000 from Eveslage who flopped trips.
The turn was the 10♣ which gave Eveslage quads. However, he could not get any more action out Riordan, who check-folded to the 150,000 bet from Eveslage, giving him the pot.
