10 left now, but unfortunately we"ve lost Marcin, and Dann just now.

Paying the top 12 in the High Roller Marcin Rejmak gets his stack in with against Jung Sebastien holding and needs some serious luck...

Flop couldn"t have been kinder, Turn makes it more unlikely for Marcin and indeed with on River he leaves us in 12th.

And it isn"t many hands later that we see Dan shove his 90k stack when it folds to him in the small blind.

Denas thinks for a while and then makes the call and shows

Dann, with , is ahead but at risk.

first card out, not a good start for Dann

and Dann does not take back the lead and he goes out in 11th place.

And no more than a few minutes later, another all in and a call over on the other table.

George and Pierre have had a bit of a raising war pre flop and it is George who finally makes the "all-in" move. Pierre calls and is visually and audibly wounded - he turns over only to see Pierre flip

It is never that simple though...a flop of means George has far from won the hand.

on the turn...

But, the on the river means the aces hold and Pierre Thomee finishes in 10th place.

#16 High Roller

Two hands of interest at the final table here:

Jaros?aw, from under the gun, moves all in for around 80k
It folds around to Munaaf in the big blind and he flicks in a chip to indicate the call and instantly tables

Jaroslaw shows and Munaaf taps the saying nice hand.

But, in true poker fashion, a board has both players sweating the river...

It is the and aces hold again, meaning that Jaroslaw doubles through.

Munaaf down to around 90k.

-------



A few hands later and it is Munaaf who is all in.

It folds to George who re raises all in and the rest fold.

Munaaf shows
George has As

means Munaaf takes the lead and is looking good for the double.

George still playing catch up to take Munaaf out.

river and Munaaf doubles up.

Seat 8 Jung gets involved in a couple of big hands...

Holding the button, he re-shoves All In fro 210k over the top of Nuno"s All In for 69k and they go Heads Up..

Jung shows and Nuno flips over ..

The Board runs and puts Jung miles ahead... on Turn and Jung needs and Ace but dampens those calls...

Nuno doubles up.....

-----

Gabrielius raises to 27k and Jung shoves all in... and Gabrielius calls for a count... Jung on 210k... Gabrielius calls... and we have circa 450k pot

Jung and Gabrielius and Gabrielius hits a wonderful Flop of , with Turn and River though he misses everything and Jung doubles up...

#16 High Roller

An all in for around 170k from Gabrielius in the small blind is called in an instant by George in the big blind.

Gabrielius shows
George has

Gabrielius is behind and at risk and needs the board to be kind...

But, with the on the flop being completed by the Gabrielius is all but out from here.
The on the turn and finish the hand and Gabrielius is out in 9th place and George adds a nice pot to his stack.

Nuno makes the move for 113k on the button after it is folded round to him.

Denas, in the small blind, makes the call and George, big blind, folds out of the way.

Denas quickly shows his
Nuno puts his cards down showing only .... the dealer spreads his hand to reveal

on the board means that we lose Nuno in 8th place for £720.
