Richard Robinson Eliminated

Out of the blue, we had an all -in, Santeri Valikoski verbally pushing for 401,000 in the small blind, and Richard Robinson snapping him off in the big.

The beauty of having to wait for the cameras to arrive is that it gives you a valid reason to slowroll, so it took a while before we found that Valikoski had a monster.

Upon seeing {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} towering over his {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, Robinson served up a horse noise, as if already knowing of his fate. His cynicism was justified as the board ran out {2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

With Robinson's chances turning to dust, we are now down to the last (but not final) table. One more to go...
