You might remember Fabian Craib from an earlier post, when we told you about how he said he had to be somewhere else and would be back in two hours. Well, he has since returned after the dinner break, with a small stack, and has now busted.
Leo Boxell raised to 25,000 from under the gun and when action came to Craib on the button, he would move all-in for 195,000. Boxell made the call and the players turned their hands over.

Craib:
Fabian would flop two-pair on the board, but it wouldn't be enough as Boxell's set took out Craib, sending him home with $15,300 for his 13th place finish.
Steven Calder was left with only a little less than a couple of big blinds after losing a big chunk of his stack in a blind versus blind hand against Fabian Craib just a few hands after returning from the dinner break.
Calder's demise started when Leo Boxell raised to 27,000 from middle position and sent the action flying around to Luke Edwards in late position, who moved all-in for around 75,000. Calder then put his last 20,000 in the pot from the button and Boxell got out of the way.

Edwards:
The board ran out , with not enough help for Calder as he hits the rail in 14th place for a $15,300 score.
Eddie Mascardi moved open-shoved for his stack from under the gun and sent the action flying to Michael Guzzardi in middle position. Guzzardi made the call, knowing that he and his opponent had similiar sized stacks.
Guzzardi:
Mascardi:
The board ran out, , the king on the turn giving Mascardi trips and leaving Guzzardi with a bit of a straight-draw sweat, but it wasn't meant to be as Guzzardi was sent to the rail in 15th place.
Leo Boxell started the action by raising it to 25,000 from under the gun. Action was then folded to Ivan Zalac then moved all-in from the button, for around 90,000. Boxell made the call also, having both of his opponents in the hand covered.
The flop fell and Lim led for 65,000 at which point Boxell announced he was all-in. Lim made the call and all three players turned their hands over, with a double elimination a possiblility.

Boxell:
Boxell was set to bust two players, with his flopped set dominating the pairs of his opponents and when the turn and river bricked it was all over for Zalac, officially eliminated in 17th place for a $12,200 score and Lim, officially sent home in 16th place for $15,300 in prize money.
The action was folded to Luke Edwards on the button, where he shipped his remaining 50,000 chip stack all-in. Michael Guzzardi made the call from the big blind and the players turned their hands over.

Michael Guzzardi has just taken a hit to his stack, while the stack of Phillip Willcocks has continued to grow.
Phillip Willcocks raised to 20,000 from under the gun, whereby play was folded to Michael Guzzardi in the small blind. At this point Guzzardi made it 60,000 to go and Willcocks made the call.
The flop hit the felt and Guzzardi led for 105,000. The turn brought about the and a couple of check.
The river was the and Guzzardi proceeded to check-call a 300,000 chip bet from Willcocks.
Guzzardi tabled and looked on as Willcocks tabled his for a rivered three of a kind.
