Chris Da Silva:
Colin Gillon:

Da Silva finished in second place in the GUKPT London High Roller for £59,000 earlier this week and would be looking to go one further. However, despite having the best hand preflop, his opponent hit their undercard on the flop.

The turn gave the PokerStars ambassador some Broadway straight outs but the river confimed his exit.

Level 24 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Blind on blind, Benjamin Bond was all in for 140,000 against Al-Farouk Obe.

Benjamin Bond:
Al-Farouk Obe:

Short-stacked Bond was far behind, raising the spectre of elimination. He was hoping to die another day, with the flop coming . The final two tables was no time to die for Bond, but the turn must have felt like the sky falling in as Obe paired up.

The river was not enough. Diamonds are forever, Bond wasn't and he was eliminated. He could still take a quantum of solace in the £7,200 payout for 13th place.

Thunderball.
