There is a lot at stake here for the final three players and not many moves are being made with the stacks so close.
Tonkaaaa and Tuchman are in the commentary booth and the discussion for the last hour or so has focused on how Tonkaaa is going to get to Gatwick.
He is reluctant to take a tube and then a train so an Uber might be an option.
The final decision has yet to be made.
Ning Lu looks to be opening up his range for the first time today and has won a few smallish pots in a row to take a lead.
