to give Tom the pot.

We have reached the money after more than an hour of hand-for-hand play.

Derek Smith and Roxci Rhodes busted out on the same hand on different tables, so both will come equal at 63rd and will split the prize money.

Derek was busted holding 8-9 against the blind who held 6-2 and hit a six.

Roxci had Q-Q and ran into A-A.

Shaun Tobin Survives

[user22113]

Moving all in with his small stack of 1300 with {6-Diamonds}

, Shaun received some protection when Hugo Marquez reraised to 3800 with {A-Spades}

.
Everyone else got out of the way and they ran out a board:
{9-Diamonds}

After the players emitted a collective groan as the short stack doubled up. Shaun remarked, "Thanks guys, thanks for the support, I know you are all cheering for me," which lightened the tension a little.
