Redraw Time

The clock has been paused while our remaining nine are reseated at a single table to decide who will make the official eight-handed final and who will be presented with a £38,000 wooden spoon.

Please stand by.

Senninger Does Not Find a Hand

It folded around to Vivek Rajkumar in the small blind, who looked as though he was considering a raise. "May I find a hand," warned Nikolai Senninger in the big blind. Rajkumar raised anyway, to 150,000. There was a pause. "No?" ventured an amused Rajkumar. Senninger folded, and Rajkumar showed him pocket queens.

Vivek Leave Milhomens Rui-ful

In a blind on blind battle, Vivek Rakjumar bet 230,000 on a {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} {2-Clubs} flop which Rui Milhomens check-called.

The turn was the {A-Hearts}, Milhomens checked then tanked and tanked and tanked before folding to a 635,000 bet from Rakjumar.

Benny Spindler Busts in 12th Place (£28,000)

Fancied a Spin
Fancied a Spin
Wow, a brief blind on blind raising war between Benny Spindler (small blind) and Marty Smyth (big) ended up with the cards on their backs, racing for Spindler's tournament life.

Check this out for a blind-on-blind cooler:

Spindler: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Smyth: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

Board: {6-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and an irrelevant {4-Clubs}

With handshakes all round, Spindler busts out in 12th, while Smyth is back up to 1.15 million.

That's How You Win Bracelets...

Ez game.
Ez game.
Peter Eastgate got all-in for 1,130,000 in a blind on blind against Dominic Cullen, Eastgate showed {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} to Cullen's {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}.

The {6-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts} helped neither but the {10-Spades} turn had Eastgate heading for the door before BOOM! The {J-Diamonds} came on the river and Eastgate doubles to 2,300,000.

Cullen left with just 365,000.
