Rutter Flips James to the Rail

Level 4
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Richin Tashi raised to 600 in early position and was called by Neil Rutter in middle position. Steven James then moved all in for 4,200 in the hijack and only Rutter called.
Steven James: A?J?
Neil Rutter: 5?5?
Rutter's pair stayed in the lead on the 6?K?K? flop, while James couldn't catch up on either the 2? turn or 7? river as he became the first player eliminated from the tournament.
