Milne:
The Brit was gracious in defeat and already shook hands with his opponent, a smile on the face. No card in the deck could help him anymore and the meaningless on the river was just a formality. The Main Event run of Milne has come to an end in 19th place for €10,621 and the remaining players now get balanced on the last two tables.
