Gary Blackwood has a fourth-place finish at this World Series of Poker, but he won't be making the Colossus final table. In this hand, he raised to 100,000 and left one 5,000 chip behind. Jose Montes called from the small blind, and Paris Sitzoukis called from the big blind.
Sitzoukis said he wasn't going to bet, and Montes checked dark. Sitzoukis held true to his word and checked on the Q♣J♥3♥ flop. Blackwood bet his last chip. Montes then responded by moving all in. Sitzoukis got out of the way.
Gary Blackwood: Q♦9♦ 
Jose Montes: Q♠J♣
The 9♠ turn and 6♣ river were not enough to save Blackwood and the poker vlogger was eliminated.

With a break in play already started, two players stood knowing their tournament lives were on the line. Mark Morrison had already tossed his card into the muck. Aaron Thivyanathan's hand was just as dead.
Aaron Thivyanathan: A♠Q♥
Justin Ouimette: A♥7♦
A runout of K♥10♥7♣5♦4♠ gave Ouimette a pair of sevens, which was good enough to give Thivyanathan and Morrison permanent breaks from the tournament.

Action was followed after Keisuke Tajiri moved all in for around 760,000 from a middle position. Stephen Foutty was the only caller from the small blind and was covered by Tajiri.
Stephen Foutty: 9♣9♥
Keisuke Tajiri: Q♠Q♣
The pocket pairs went head-to-head but Tajiri only improved further having flopped a set of queens on the 3♠Q♥4♥ board.
Foutty stood up to watch the 10♠ turn and 4♣ river which confirmed his elimination from the tournament.
