{j-Diamonds}

.

Chaptini found some hope when the flop came down {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{a-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

, but the

{k-Spades}

on the turn was the wrong kind of black.

Just one club would do it for Chaptini, but the river ran red in the form of the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

, eliminating him in 3rd place and we are now heads-up between Nicholls and Rowland Hawkins!
