Ignacio Sole had a rough go of it over the course of two hands that led to his exit.
The first hand began when Ignacio Sole got it all in preflop against Casey Hatmaker with Hatmaker at risk.
Casey Hatmaker: A♣10♦
Ignacio Sole: A♦K♦
Sole had Hatmaker dominated as they headed to the runout, but the flop did not preserve his lead as it fanned out 10♥4♥2♣ to reverse their position. The 9♣ turn and the 10♣ river only served to help Hatmaker as Sole was left with 83,000.
The very next hand Sole shipped it for his remaining chips from early position and was called from middle position by Frederik Reinert to put Sole at risk.
Ignacio Sole: A♠4♠
Casey Hatmaker: A♣10♣
In a cruel twist of fate, Sole was up against the same hand, but this time he held the worst of it with the inferior ace.
The flop came out 6♥5♦9♥, which was of no help to Sole.
The 9♦ turn presented some chop outs, but the river did not convert on any of Sole's outs as it came the J♥.

The hand began when Tudor Purice raised to 29,000 from the cutoff. He faced some opposition when Huabao Chen opted to raise to 85,000 from the big blind. Purice gave it some thought before he called to send them to a flop.
The flop came 10♣6♥8♠ before Chen fired 86,000. Purice chose to raise to 220,000, and Chen jammed for 466,000. Purice called to send them to a showdown.
Huabao Chen: A♦J♥
Tudor Purice: 9♦9♠
Purice was ahead after the flop, and the 9♥ eliminated several of Chen's outs, but Chen was still alive with a straight draw. The J♦ river was not the out he needed. When the dealer counted out the chips it, it turned out Purice just barely had Chen covered by a single 1,000 chip with a total of 467,000 to eliminate Chen from the tournament.
