Sinead Priestley Eliminated in 6th Place (£3,000)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Sinead Priestly
Sinead Priestly

It has come to an end for Sinead Priestley. Starting the table in the bottom half of the chip counts, she has managed to ladder well until this point.

Unfortunately for her, she couldn't win the last flip with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, which she shipped from under the gun. She was called by Rungarun Thongnonsung who held {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and the pair held through the {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} board.

Justin Bateson Eliminated in 5th Place (£3,700)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Justin Bateson
Justin Bateson

It is all over for Justin Bateson, with his second close attempt at taking a Platinum Pass coming to an end.

Valdir Santos opened {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} on the cutoff to 365,000 and Justin Bateson three-bet all in to 1,685,000 with {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}, which Santos snap-called].

One six had already been folded, so there were just two live outs for Bateson, neither of which were anywhere to be seen on the {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Clubs} board and he finishes in a very respectable 5th place.

Gary Miller Eliminated in 4th Place (£4,800)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Gary Miller
Gary Miller

Rungarun Thongnonsung opened 320,000 with {j-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Gary Miller moved all in for 1,715,000 with {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} on the button.

Valdir Santos looked down to see pocket {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and took his time before moving all in over the top. Neither [Removed:148] or Thongnonsung wanted to play any more and Miller was drawing to three outs.

There was a jack on the {3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, which was a fantastic flop for Santos and he improved from set to full house on the {2-Clubs} turn. The {3-Spades} river made no difference to the outcome and all of a sudden, the tournament is down to the last three players.

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Valdir Santos opened to 430,000 with {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} on the button and [Removed:148] three-bet to 1,100,000 in the small blind with {a-Spades}{4-Spades}. Rungarun Thongnonsung had {k-Spades}{q-Spades} in the big blind and flat called, with Santos coming along too.

Thongnonsung connected with the {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop and raised to 2,100,000 over Ahmed's 900,000 continuation. It was good to take the pot and the chip lead.

On the {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop, after a check from Santos, Ahmed led for 600,000 with a gutshot. Thongnonsung foleds and Santos immediately upped it to 2,000,000, which Ahmed called.

Ahmed Takes Some Back

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

[Removed:148] has taken back some of the chips he's lost over the last few hands. Opening {k-Hearts}{7-Spades} blind v blind, Rungarun Thongnonsung called with {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} in the big blind.

Ahmed continued for 900,000 on the {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, which Thongnonsung called. On the {10-Spades} turn, Ahmed moved all in for 4,695,000 and took it down.

Santos Extends Lead

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Rungarun Thongnonsung raised to 600,000 blind vs blind with {q-Spades}{7-Spades} and faced a 1,375,000 three-bet from Valdir Santos in the big blind, who had {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds} in the hole.

Play has seen plenty of aggression since the break and this was one pot going to Santos after Thongnonsung opted to let it go.
