Rui Milhomens raised to 180,000, but Dominic Cullen shoved for his whole 1.535 million stack. Milhomens thought about it, but eventually made a resigned "oh well" sort of face and folded. Last Brit standing Cullen picked up the pot to a brief burst of applause from the rail.
It folded around to Nikolai Senninger in the small blind, who shoved to cover big blind Raymond Wu. Not even the semblance of thinking about it from Wu before he folded.
Rui Milhomens raised to 180,000 only for Martin Gudvangen to make it 480,000 to go. Back to Milhomens, who immediately announced all in. A slightly disappointing instafold from Gudvangen, and we play on.
Martin Gudvangen raises to 190,000 and Aaron Gustavson, in the small blind, slides out a stack of orange chips, making it 600,000. Gudvangen decides it's too early to play a big pot against the chip leader and throws his cards away.
Senninger himself is not bothered, though
Nikolai Senninger raised to 180,000 but his attempt at aggression was thwarted by a reraise to 450,000 from Aaron Gustavson -- the second hand running he'd three-bet preflop. And just like the last time, the original raiser folded and Gustavson took the pot. The Lion King looked sad.
Cullen raises to 185,000 but he gets 3-bet again, this time by Martin Gudvangen who moves all-in. We're pretty sure the Englishman has not managed to get a single raise through so far on the final table.
Clearly no-one likes the English here on the final table...
Wu-den expression
Raymond Wu moved all in -- but before he'd even pushed his stack all the way into the middle of the table he was pulling it back again, following insta-folds from the blinds.
Rui Milhomens reraises all-in over the top of Raymond Wu's initial raise, putting the latter to the test. Although shortish, Wu decides to fold and retain his last fifteen big blinds or so. He's down to 1.2 million and now the short stack.
Cullen raises to 185,000 and Peter Eastgate calls.
Both players check the [3d} flop before Cullen fires 200,000 on the turn. The WSOP champion folds and Cullen wins his first pot we think, since the start of the final.
