After biding her time waiting for the right spot, Jessica Richards moved all in preflop with T♣T♠ but ran right into the Q♦Q♠ of Christopher Collins. 

The runout of 7♦A♦4♦9♥A♠ could not save her and she exited the tournament while Collins collected the pot. 

The very next hand, Collins moved all in once again with QQ and was called by short-stacked Edward Staples who held 77. The table made some jokes about Collins not returning his previous hand to the dealer, but then a seven appeared right in the window of the 752 flop. Nothing changed on the runout and the pot was pushed to Staples for the double. 

Collins - 212,000  
Staples 105,000
