The tournament is down to seven tables, which means that we are nine eliminations away from the money.
We caught the action with Dale Marsland re-raising to 14,000, after an initial bet from a player in early position. Luke Brabin was in the cut off, and elected to move all in for his remaining 65,500 in chips. It folded back around to Marsland in the hijack, who counted out the bet, and placed it in the middle.
