Lorinda Johnson has just been eliminated in 19th place, meaning we are down to our final two tables!
We didn’t catch the action of Johnson’s final hand, but it was an exciting one which was recalled to us by the players at the table.
Apparently it started with Scott Davies min-opening preflop and Johnson calling from the blinds. On the 
flop, Johnson check-called a bet of 20,500 from Davies and a hit the turn. This time Johnson led for 22,000 and Davies raised it up to 74,000. Davies called and the board was completed with a 
.
It was here that Johnson jammed for a little under 200,000 and Davies snap-called.
Davies held 
, while Johnson had complete air (a busted flush draw) with 
.
Davies is up to a massive 700,000 in chips.

Paul Murray opened under the gun to 16,000 and Tamara Volkoff flat called on the button. Action was then with John Aufdemkampe in the small blind and he decided his best move was all in. The total was 180,500 and it was back with Murray.
He took a good minute or so before he made the call as Volkoff quickly escaped.
Murray: 
Aufdemkampe: 
It was pretty much over when the flop landed 
with the turn and 
river completing the board.
Aufdemkampe takes 16th place as Murray is now one of our chip leaders at the dinner break.
