Fabian Out; Final Eight Set

Quads for Oliver Speidel was enough to bring about the final table of the bounties event. Speidel held {5-}{5-} and had Fabian Craib all in holding {a-}{4-}. The flop housed a couple of fives and that was more than enough to send Speidel the pot.

With Craib's elimination, he goes home in 3rd place on his table, receiving $7,500.

With that, the final table of 8 is set! The players will be in the seats in 10 minutes time.

Table 14 Slows It Up

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

The action has been extremely slow at Table 14, with the three players simply sharing chips around. There was one all in, but it equated to very little.

Another Table Down

Sandeep Pulusani has been sent hom in 4th place on Table 15 and Aaron Lim has just been eliminated in 3rd place, meaning Jamie Pickering and Ross Parkhill will now be heading to the final table.

Lim and Pulusani both had bounties on their head and when Pickering sent them both to the rail, he picked up $2,000 in bounty prizes.

With that, only one bustout remains until our final table!

Table 10 Ends with Toma Exit

Mark Betts has taken care of another player to finish his table and he will take a big stack through to the final table.

He was heads-up to a {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and checked from the small blind. Tsugunari Toma was in the big blind and moved all-in with {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Betts tanked and made a great call with {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} to improve Betts' hand to a straight.

Adam Cusenza is the other player to progress from table 10.

Fifteen (Finally) Loses Another One

Table 15 was going considerably slower than the other two remaining tables, but has just seen their 5th place finisher hit the rail.

It was Rhys Jones who was the next to go, getting it all in holding {a-}{5-} and coming up against {5-}{5-}. The board gave Jones no help as he was eliminated in 5th place at his table, taking home $4,000.

Betts Busts Brkovic

Aleks Brkovic was hoping to follow his friend James Obst into the final table, but that won't be the case.

He three-bet all-in with {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} from the small blind after Mark Betts opened from the button. Betts snapped with {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and sailed through the {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs} board. He takes home $5,000 for his efforts.

This table (10) and 14 are both three handed now, whereas table 15 is lagging behind with five players still remaining.

First Two Through

Billy Argyros just shoved his stack in preflop holding {a-Spades}{3-Hearts} and ran into Polchlopek's {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. The board gave no help for Argyros and with that Table 18 has come to an end.

The elimination of Argyros makes James Obst and Polchlopek the first members of the final table. It is looking very likely that Polchlopek will start the final table with the chip lead.

Couple of Bustouts

Back from the break and we have already lost a couple of players. First it was Melanie Weisner on Table 14. Weisner was all in holding {6-}{6-} and had to come up against {k-}{j-}. When the board was dealt with two jacks, Wesiner was eliminated in 4th place on her table, going home with $5,000.

Geroge Moussa was then eliminated on Table 10, running his {a-}{8-} into {k-}{k-}. Moussa goes home in 5th place on his table, taking $4,000 with him.
