Rene Mouritsen Eliminated

Rumour has it...
Word on the grapevine is...
DrPauly says...

With all my disclaimers safely in place, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the last man to exit today was Rene Mouritsen. He therefore leaves in 33rd place for £11,419, which should buy him plenty of novelty London souvenirs including miniature Big Bens, teddy bear beefeaters and cheap china with Prince Charles plastered on the front. Failing that, he can hit the bar.

Strassmann Takes One Off Lellouche

On a board of {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and with 70,000 in the pot, Johannes Strassmann led out for 55,000 and Antony Lellouche snap-passed. Both players are chipped up going into tomorrow however, Strassmann carrying 320,000 over whilst Lellouche may well boast the chip lead with a whopping 445,000.

Beam Me Up, Scotty

No, Scotty Nguyen isn't out, but I'm absent tomorrow and wanted to use my pun before I left. He is low though, having lost an {A-?}{Q-?} versus {5-?}{5-?} coinflip right at the death. As a result, he'll be returning tomorrow as a short stack with just 35,000 in chips
