Oliver Biles

Eric Ford opened for 900 from the hijack and was called by Joshua Martin on the button. Oliver Biles then moved all in for 4,100 from the small blind. Ford four-bet to 10,000 and Martin mucked to set up the all-in showdown.

"That's not good," said Biles as the cards were turned over.

Oliver Biles: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Eric Ford: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Ford paired his queen on the {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop and secured the elimination following the {6-Diamonds} turn and {k-Spades} river.

Another notable name that also hit the rail early was Amanda Botfeld. She was all in preflop with king-queen but was ousted after her opponent made a flush with their {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.
