Heads Up: Top Cash Prizes for Both, but Only One Platinum Pass

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Though both players are guaranteed a huge return on their £140 investment (£7,989 for first and £7,586 for second), only one can win the PSPC Platinum Pass and start planning their trip to Barcelona in August.

Play has paused briefly for some heads up photographs; back in action shortly.

Liam McMurray Eliminated in 3rd Place (£4,473)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

It took one blind-vs-blind premium match-up to bust Liam McMurray, the chips practically flying into the middle themselves as he shoved {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} from the small blind and was snap-called by Daniel Stancer in the big blind with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}.

Stancer spiked his ace on the {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Spades} flop, and though some spade outs provided a glimmer of hope for McMurray with the {5-Spades} turn, the {j-Hearts} river sealed his fate.

Three-Handed Chip Counts

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

These counts reflect a pot just won by Ali Ahmed from Daniel Stancer with a check-raise (350,000 to 800,000) on a {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop.

Konstantinos Patsourakis Eliminated in 4th Place (£3,275)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Konstantinos Patsourakis' rail was just needling him with, "He's got three chips! He's going to blind out!" when he picked up a hand - {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} - and made his preflop move all in. Small blind Ali Ahmed and big blind Liam McMurray both gave him a spin, checking all the way to the river: {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

McMurray announced, "queen," and duly showed one: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}. The river had seen Patsourakis' {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} outdrawn; he exited with a "good luck, guys" as the cameras filmed his trip towards the cash desk.

Jed Turnbull Eliminated in 5th Place (£2,459)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The dramatic downturn for Jed Turnbull took final shape with his bust-out at the hands of Daniel Stancer. Turnbull had called Stancer's preflop open in the big blind to see a {4-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop, which they both checked. On the {7-Spades} turn, Turnbull check-raised all in (1,585,000) over Stancer's 200,000 bet. Stancer called.

Stancer: {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Turnbull: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Stancer's turned two pair held; we're down to four.

Stancer Doubles First Hand Back

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

First to act, first hand back after the break, Daniel Stancer shoved for 995,000 with {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Over to small blind Jed Turnbull, who re-shoved, as one might expect - he held {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. An ace came straight away on the flop: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and the turn and river were the irrelevant {4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

"Unlucky," admitted Stancer.
