Boatman Sunk & Trotter Toppled as the Bubble Boys Emerge
Two players were at risk, just as hand-for-hand play got underway.
First, Ross Boatman had his stack in the middle and was put at risk by Harrison Herbert.
Ross Boatman: Q?Q? 
Harrison Herbert: A?Q?
Boatman's pocket queens looked good on the 6?9?8? flop, but he was made to sweat a little on the 9? turn as Herbert picked up a flush draw. The A? river paired Herbert and gave him a flush, which meant Boatman was eliminated.
On the table adjacent, Paul Trotter was all-in and at risk for his stack of around 100,000, and he been put at risk by Ben Shannon.
Paul Trotter: K?K?
Ben Shannon: A?K?
Trotter had the best of it, but was left with just one out after the A?J?9? flop gave Shannon a pair of aces. The 7? turn did give Trotter a flush draw, but the 5? river cemented his status as one of the bubble boys.
