In-N-Out Poker
Philip Johnston registered late for the event, looking forward to running deep. With his seat not even warmed, Johnston, in middle position, open-shoved all-in for the starting stack of 40,000. Peter Placey in the cutoff announced all-in for around 80,000, sending button Ankush Mandavia to the tank.
After a few seconds, he folded face up showing A♣Q♣. After the blinds folded, Johnston and Placey went to showdown.
Philip Johnston: A♠K♦ 
Peter Placey: A♥J♥
Johnston was ahead and was hoping for an early double up when the flop dropped 4♥10♥4♦. Placey's outs increased with a flush draw but he was pushed into the lead when the J♠ turn was dealt. The river Q♥ completed Placey's flush sealing Johnston's fate to leave the tournament just as he got in.
