With just 48 players remaining, the tournament is down to the hand for hand stage. One more player will go home empty handed, the other 47 players will be guaranteed a minimum pay day of £770 from that moment on.
Sameer Singh's tournament has ended in 49th place, one hand before the stone cold bubble.
Christopher Swinden raised to 13,000 under the gun and then called when Singh three-bet all-in for 53,000 in total from the next seat across. Swinden turned over 
and was racing against Singh's 
. A final board reading 
sent Singh home early and the tournament to the bubble stage.
We picked up the action on a flop of 
as Phillip Corion checked from the big blind. Craig Sewell in early position made a bet of 16,000 and Gareth Mcintosh raised it to 36,000 from the hijack. Corion asked how much Mcintosh had behind approximately, and announced a three bet to 85,000. Sewell made the call, Mcintosh folded.
The hit the turn and Corion moved in. An exact count wasn't done by the dealer (but we estimated it at around 90,000) as Sewell instantly called. You could hear the table sigh as the cards were opened.
Phillip Corion: 
Craig Sewell: 
Corion needed the board to pair on the river to survive, but a blank 
appeared instead and he had to get up from the table and leave the tournament room.
With Corion's exit the tournament is down to 49 players, just 2 away from the money. Sewell is one of the biggest stacks in the room.
Chris Moneymaker was down on his luck for the last few hours, and just lost the last of his chips.
He had just 53,000 left when he moved all in under the gun holding 
. His next door neighbor Phillip Corion had 
and wasn't going anywhere. Moneymaker already spoke out he expected to just have three live cards even before they rolled over their cards, and he turned out to be right.
The board came 
and all Moneymaker could say was “Good luck guys!”
With the money bubble rapidly approaching, Michael Fletcher has lost some ground and is currently nursing a 12-13 big blind stack after losing a pot to Pasquale Egisto.
Fletcher opened to 8,000 in the cutoff, Egisto called on the button and Paren Arzoomanian came along for the ride in the big blind. The latter checked on the 
flop, as did Fletcher, but Egisto bet 10,000. Arzoomanian folded and Fletcher put in the calling chops.
Both players checked the 
turn and then the river, Egito claiming the pot when Fletcher mucked after seeing his opponent's 
.
Gregory Brew open shoved his last 43,500 to the middle from middle position and his neighbor Jordan Johnson made the call. Action folded to Christopher Knights in the small blind and he pushed all in for around 160,000 it seemed. Johnson went into the tank but eventually open folded his 
.
Christopher Knights: 
Gregory Brew: 
All Brew needed was a jack to triple up, and he did just that. The board ran out and Brew gathered all the chips in the pot.
