Cooper, Lawson Eliminated

On the turn of a {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} board, Ted Lawson checked to his opponent, who deliberated before pushing all in. Lawson called all in with a set of fives; his opponent made the nut flush with {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts}. The board didn't pair on the river, eliminating Lawson. He collects $2,277.

At a different table, Caroline Cooper was also eliminated. She raised preflop to 3,000; the big blind reraised to 9,000. She debated, then put in a third bet, all in. The big blind called and had her dominated, his {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} against her {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. The board helped neither player, crippling Cooper to just 2,500 chips. She went out two hands later and will also collect $2,277.
