"Who's killing everyone?" Lin Chen, who had just moved to the table to take Stephen Cherry's seat, said.

"The dealer is," Jonathan Roberts replied.

Level 6 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Stephen Cherry raised to 1,200 in the cutoff and was called by Jonathan Roberts on the button and big blind Craig Rimmer.

The flop came K♥Q♥4♦ and Cherry bet 3,000. Both opponents called and the 8♠ fell on the turn.

Cherry bet another 6,000 and Roberts this time raised to 12,000. Rimmer got out of the way, but Cherry called to see the 6♦ river. Roberts then bet enough to put Cherry all in.

Cherry had around 20,000 remaining and tanked for a few minutes before calling with A♥A♣. Roberts, though, showed him Q♠6♠ for a rivered two pair to win the pot and send Cherry crashing to the rail.

Craig Rimmer raised to 1,500 in the cutoff, Jack Smith three-bet to 3,700 in the small blind, and Rimmer called.

Smith bet another 2,500 on the Q♣7♠K♥ flop and Rimmer called. The turn was the 3♦ and Smith moved all in. Rimmer quickly called for his last 8,200.

Smith showed A♦4♦, while Rimmer was ahead with K♠J♠ for a pair of kings. The river was the 9♥ and Rimmer doubled up.

Conor McGlone's newfound wealth proved short-lived as he was recently eliminated, as was David Ledden.
