Philippe Souki is right back contention after getting a little fortunate.
"OK, I hit a two-outer," Souki says with a smile.
Souki was all-in pre-flop and against Luke Hayward's pocket jacks. Souki had and needed the help he got. While he is back in contention for the biggest prizes, Hayward is short-stacked and in need of a double...
Michael Mizrachi has busted the 888Poker London Live Main Event. The American, known as 'The Grinder', has finally been ground down himself.
Down to a short-stack of 100,000 chips, Mizrachi held and was flipping against pocket sevens. He couldn't hit and unfortunately for him and his fans here on the rail, he couldn't hit and departs.
Jose Lopez has one of the bigger chip-stacks in the room, but he also now has a spot prize, after becoming the only player to have enjoyed the special thrill of having a Royal Flush!
Organisers 888Poker very kindly put an iPhone 6S up for grabs if anyone could showdown with a Royal Flush including at least one card, and on a board of , Jose Lopez held to win the pot and the prize!
Jose Lopez may have the best spot prize so far, but Sam Grafton has the chip lead as he approaches a million chips.
Chaz Chattha definitely gave himself a pep talk at the break, as he has come back and is fighting for a big stack. Chattha has a great record of making final table from two tables out, especially in London and has done so twice in big tournaments here at Aspers in recent years. But we still have three tables, and 19 players.
First, Chaz raised all-in over-the-top of an opening bet of 25,000 from Luke Hayward and Hayward ended up folding a , Chaz showed a . In the next hand, Chattha was raising again, this time in the cut-off after Ka Him Li's opening bet of 26,000 in the hijack position. Chattha looks determined to head into play with two tables left in good health, chip-wise.
James Parker with the bounty player he emilinated, Swedish Team 888Poker ambassador Sofia Lovgren
James Parker told us about his exit from the 888Poker London Live Main Event, where he knocked out Sofia Lovgren to win the £888 Bounty and the hat proving what he achieved!
"I lost a 300k pot before the break when the other player raised to 25,000 on the button and I called in the big blind with . The flop came and I called 65,000. The turn of another king saw him bet 150,000 and I called again. The river was a queen, and I called it off. He had Ace-King. I then lost my last 100k to Enzo [Del Piero] when I shoved and couldn't hit against his ."
It was a great run from James, and as well as cashing for £2,260, he also bumps that up with the £888 Bounty. A great weekend!
Charles Chattha has powered through the final three hands, raising and grabbing some precious chips to finish off a last level in which he has gone from being comfortable in chips to putting his feet up.
In the small blind, Chattha raised to 26,000 and was shoved on by the big blind Kjetil Zove, calling it off.
Chattha held against his opponent's and held through the nine-high board to bring us down to 15 players.
After enduring a tough level, Kara Scott has bounced back, twice chopping a pot when all-in (once luckier than the other player, once unluckier) and now doubling up.
All-in pre-flop with , Scott doubled when her ten four-flushed against her opponent's pocket nines and she is now right back in the hunt for the trophy.
