#2  8-Game

With that, Don gets all-in pre-flop against Dai in PLO.

Dai  

The board comes out    

And Don finishes in 9th place.

Simon moves to the other table. We are now playing hand-for-hand for the final table - with the tables playing different games! One table is on 2-7 Triple Draw and the other has one hand left of PLO, and will then also be on 2-7.

#2  8-Game

Chris loses a big hand to Dann in 2-7 with an 8 low and has only 35k left.

Next hand, he raises and Alex puts him all-in. After the three draws, Chris shows   , a very good starting hand missing on every draw. Alex looked pained throughout the hand as he also kept missing, but he ended up with  
, his ten-low winning the hand and eliminating Chris in 8th place.

Nice work Lucy, Tom & John.

1 down, a few more to go

If they can maintain that standard over the next 9 days they will deserve a medal themselves.

PS - I was serious about the pictures of the updaters, all of them (except Tom and John).
