Six Max

Down to two tables and a new blind level - 1000/2000 with 300 ante.

On one table, Carl Harris' is more than good enough all in on a flop as he is looked up by Dylan Heath with and no extra diamond on turn or river so Carl doubles up.

On the other table, Alan Ellis' is not good enough to hold up against the of David Walker - especially after the 8 on the flop and Alan finishes in 12th place.
