Liam McMurray Eliminated in 3rd Place (£4,473)
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
It took one blind-vs-blind premium match-up to bust Liam McMurray, the chips practically flying into the middle themselves as he shoved

.
Stancer spiked his ace on the 
flop, and though some spade outs provided a glimmer of hope for McMurray with the 
turn, the 
river sealed his fate.

Konstantinos Patsourakis Eliminated in 4th Place (£3,275)
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Konstantinos Patsourakis' rail was just needling him with, "He's got three chips! He's going to blind out!" when he picked up a hand - 
- and made his preflop move all in. Small blind Ali Ahmed and big blind Liam McMurray both gave him a spin, checking all the way to the river: 
.
McMurray announced, "queen," and duly showed one: 
. The river had seen Patsourakis' outdrawn; he exited with a "good luck, guys" as the cameras filmed his trip towards the cash desk.

Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
