The action picked up in earnest after the turn on Table 29.

Hastings: A♣ 6♣     Glasgow: 3 3♣

River: Q

Hastings didn't hit his flush on the river, but the middle pair held up over Glasgow low pocket pair, eliminating Glasgow in 22nd place.

Two hands later, Ian Davis was eliminated from the same table in 21st place. Only two eliminations remain until the conclusion of play.
