Hand #64: Shawn Buchanan had the button but it was Dermot Blain who moved all-in and took the blinds and antes.
Hand #65: Moritz Kranich had the button but was inconspicuous by his absence, that allowed Shawn Buchanan to raise from the cutoff and steal the blinds and antes.
Hand #66: Chris Moorman was the man holding the button. Jake Cody raised to 100,000 in early position and Brian Roberts looked interested in the small blind. He considered his options before three-betting to 265,000 and Elio Fox folded. Back to Cody and after a little eyeballing war he folded his hand and Roberts won the pot.
Hand #67: Brian Roberts had the button, Moritz Kranich returned to the table and made a standard raise from the hijack. Chris Moorman was sat next to him and he three-bet to 245,000 and everyone folded and he won the pot.
Hand #68: Elio Fox had the button, Shawn Buchanan raised to 110,000 in first position and it was sufficient to win the blinds and antes.
Hand #69: Dermot Blain had the button, but it was left to Jake Cody and Shawn Buchanan to fight it out in the blinds. Cody raised to 225,000 and Buchanan folded.

You're Under the Gun (So You Take it On the Run)
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Hand #74: Brian Roberts had the button. Under the gun, Jake Cody raised to 100,000 to take the blinds and antes.
Hand #75: Elio Fox had the button. Shawn Buchanan raised to 110,000 under the gun, and Chris Moorman asked him how much he was playing. Moorman folded, though, but Brian Roberts capped his cards with a chip to think it over. He opted to make a three-bet to 250,000, and that folded the table back to Buchanan. He popped it back to 575,000, and Roberts turned his eyes upward and shot an intense glare across the table. After another minute or two, though, he surrendered and let Buchanan have it.
Hand #76: Dermot Blain had the button. It's three under-the-gun raises in a row now as Moritz Kranich made it 105,000 to go. Folds all around, and Kranich will take this one.
Hand #77: Jake Cody had the button, and that meant Chris Moorman was under the gun. Make that four in a row; Moorman executed the raise-and-take without incident.
Hand #78: Shawn Buchanan had the button. Clearly not paying attention to the trend, Brian Roberts folded under the gun, and Jake Cody made it 100,000 to go from the cutoff seat. He took it down right there.
Hand #79: Moritz Kranich had the button, and our UTG trend resumed. Elio Fox raised to 110,000 first to act, but it would not sneak through. Brian Roberts defended his big blind, and the dealer spread out 
. Roberts tapped the table, and Fox continued out with another 130,000. Roberts threw a blue plaque in and added the extra 30,000 to call, and the turn came the . Roberts checked again, and Fox studied for just a moment before checking it back. The river 
put the flush on board, and Roberts was eying up betting chips. He slid out a small bet of 120,000, and Fox quickly called. Roberts showed 
-- playing the board -- and Fox's 
earned him the pot.
Jake Cody Eliminated in 7th Place (€150,000)
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Hand #80: Chris Moorman had the button and made this pot quite exciting. It was Shawn Buchanan who entered the pot first, from the hijack. He raised to 110,000 and next to act was Moritz Kranich in the cutoff and he three-bet to 255,000. Chris Moorman appraised the situation with a little bit more interest than your standard folder before four-betting to 515,000. One by one everyone folded and Moorman won the pot.
Hand #81: Brian Roberts had the button, but it was Jake Cody who raised to 100,000 in first position. Four players folded before Elio Fox had a little think from the small blind. Fox made his standard pose - clenched hands in front of the face while he stared straight across the room - and when he had finished thinking he three-bet to 330,000 and returned to his pose. Action on to the Triple Crown winner and he folded, handing Fox the pot.
Hand #82: Elio Fox had the button, but it was Brian Roberts who raised from the cutoff and the action folded around to Dermot Blain in the small blind. Blain moved all-in and Roberts asked for a count. It was 865,000 and Roberts decided to fold.
Hand #83: Dermot Blain was holding the button. Chris Moorman entered the pot first with a bet of 110,000 and he took down the blinds and antes.
Hand #84: Jake Cody was on the button, but it was Elio Fox who raised to 110,000 in the hijack. Cody had a decision to make and he decided to three-bet to 260,000. Action back to Fox and he went into his deep stack for chips and brought 600,000 of them out to play and moved them over the line. All the while Cody did not take his eyes off Fox before returning to his own stack where he counted some chips before saying, "all-in" and Fox called instantly. When the hands were turned over Cody couldn't have wished for a better spot in this seven-million chip pot!

Turn:
"F&%^**g Hell!" Came a curse from the rail.
River: 
Cody stood up and shook the hand of Fox before heading away from the table. Tough luck for our Triple Crown winner and we are now down to six players.
