Xu Sends Out Phillips; Curcu Shoves Into Aouraghe's Aces
Pawel Wojciechowski raised to 50,000 in middle position and Mo Xu three-bet to 175,000 on the button. Anthony Phillips then moved all in for 420,000 in the big blind, Wojciechowski folded, while Xu snap-called.
Anthony Phillips: A♦Q♣ 
Mo Xu: A♠K♠
Phillips found himself dominated as the flop came 2♥2♠5♦. The 8♠ turn also gave Xu a flush draw to take away some of Phillips' outs, while the 10♣ river sealed Phillips' elimination.
At another table, Hicham Aouraghe had a raise of 125,000 in front of him from the small blind before Sebastian Curcu moved all in for 700,000 in the big blind. Aouraghe quickly called.
Sebastian Curcu: 7♦7♠
Hicham Aouraghe: A♣A♠
Aouraghe hit top set on the A♥2♦8♠ flop, and Curcu was already out of his seat and headed to the payout desk as the 4♠ and 3♥ completed the board.
