After his earlier double up Benjamin Philipps was blinded down to only 5,500 chips.
He then had to post the big blinds and was left with only one 500-chip behind. From first position, Tomas Macnamara, who doubled him in the previous hand, raised to 10,000. It was folded to Philipps and he started waiting for all the other tables to finish their hand.
There were no other all-in-situations, so Philipps was at risk of becoming the bubble boy when he threw in his final chip. The camera crews rushed to the table and he showed his .
Macnamara was ahead with his .
The board ran out an uneventful , although Philipps picked up some extra outs on the turn.
In the end it didn't really matter and Philipps was on his way out empty handed, while all the others in the room secured a pay-day of at least €8,070.

Usman Siddique made it 11,000 to go from middle position before PokerStars Qualifier Oskar Szwed put his remaining chips over the betting line from the very next seat. Ismael Bojang on the button seemed very interested, and didn't spend many seconds before he himself announced all in. The blinds and Siddique wasted no time getting out of the way, and with the of Szwed and the of Bojang it was a classic coinflip.
The flop of was no help to the player at risk, and neither the on the turn or the on the river changed that.
Szwed began his journey to the cashier, while Ismael Bojang is sitting on around 440,000.
