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.

Cullen 'Em Dead

Well, sort of.

Dominic Cullen, our shorty at the unofficial final table on 795,000, moved all in -- but nobody fancied taking him on, and he picked up the blinds and antes.

Senniger Gives Up Top Pair

It's passed around to Nikolai Senniger, who raises to 150,000 in the small blind. Vivek Rajkumar calls in the big blind.

The flop comes {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} and Senniger bets 200,000 and, after a minute, Rajkumar moves all-in.

Senniger tanks for about 3 minutes before folding {Q-Clubs} face up...

Isn't There a Rule About Mascots?

Nikolai Senninger was spotted doing something which we think was pointing the face of his fairly sizable Lion King stuffed toy at the hole card camera -- but from the angle we got it at, it looked frankly obscene.

Very Gud Bet

East of needing

Martin Gudvangen raised to 140,000, and it folded around to Peter Eastgate who announced all in for 1.035 million.

Gudvangen gave it some serious and lengthy thought, getting those elements of the media who have not abandoned the whole thing to go play the media tournament instead very excited. After a while, though, he passed. Play continues.

Small Pot for Milhomens

A three-way pot was limp-checked to the turn of the {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Clubs} board, at which point Rui Milhomens bet 110,000. Martin Gudvangen called, Peter Eastgate folded, and they saw a {9-Diamonds} river.

Both players checked the dangerous looking card, and Milhomens turned over {5-?} {7-?} for a ten-high straight. Whatever Gudvangen had, he couldn't beat it, and a smallish pot went to Milhomens.
