There's no easy way to get eliminated from the third day of a tournament, but Brad Yazici dismissal was a little tougher to swallow than your average knockout.

Against a board of A♠ K♠ 4♠ 3x, Yazici was holding Ax Kx for two pair and had put out a bet of 45,000. Brian Hastings thought for a minute or two before announcing all-in - putting Yazici at risk.

Brad snap-called and flipped up two pair. Unfortunately for him, Hastings slow-played the flush that he flopped, flipping up 10♠ 7♠. Despite having top two pair, only four cards in the deck would be able to save Yazici, but he bricked the river and left the room in 17th place.

Players are seconds away from entering Level 19, with blinds increasing to 3,000/6,000/800.
