Having made the cash, Rob Davies shoves his short-stack with and is busted in 15th place.

Debbie Kimm then shoves her SB with into Jason Kemp"s BB. Jason calls with and knocks her out in 14th.

[Matt D]

An under the gun shove from Mark Channer is met with a call by the big blind of Jason Kemp.

Cards on their backs. Mark shows QT, Jason a pair of fives.

The board runs out , and Mark leaves us in 13th place (£170).

Action from Table 1:

Steve Roderick opens to 20k from the SB. Steve"s image after the recent hand may be counting against him now, and Roy shoves straight away. Steve folds.

Bash opens to 22k from early position and Chucky shoves for 103k from mid-position. Bash thinks about it and folds, showing an Ace. Chucky doesn"t show, but looks a bit sick. I think he regrets shoving.

Rodders opens to 22k from the Cut-Off and Bash calls in the BB. Rob bets 35k on an Ace-high, two-spade Flop and Bash folds.

We"re approaching the final table, and things had tightened up considerably, with no noticeable movement of chips in the last 31 minutes.. until....

[MintTrav]

And it"s all gone off. Two big stacks cash on Table 1.

Playing 6-handed on each table, Rodders opens to 40k with AQ from early position. Kyle Hyman shoves from the Big Blind for over 200k and Rodders calls.

Kyle  
Steve  

Rodders" image has worked in his favour this time.

There"s a Queen on the Flop and another one on the Turn.

Rodders eliminates Kyle and now has close to 600k.

WP & GL all, but particularly to Ste Roderick and Jason kemp.

[MintTrav]

They are all-in pre-flop on Table 2, Lewis Tucker holding   against Anthony Jones, who has   .

The stacks are almost identical, with Anthony having just a few more.

The board is all blanks, though there are some chop possibilities on the River -  

Anthony eliminates Lewis in 11th.

There will now be a short break while the casino prepares for the final table.

Final table of 10 why?

Unofficial final table of 10 due to space / dealer reasons. We"ll be down to an official final table of 9 following our first departure.
