Krzysztof Jaguscik: 
Francis Foord-Brown: 
With an icy stare, Jaguscik calmly awaited his fate as the dealer fanned out 
on the flop. The 
on the turn gave the Pole additional outs, as he picked up a flush draw to go with his treys.
The river bricked with the 
and Jaguscik headed to the payout desk.

Soft Hand-Over-Hand
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Tournament director Kenny Hallaert has enforced a soft hand-over-hand as we play towards the final table. Play will resume as normal, but all-ins will be held off until the other table has completed the action.
If players bust out on two different tables at the same time, they will split the 9th and 10th place prize money.

Gallagher Joins, Slips
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Martin Gallagher has taken his seat as well, completing the field. A mildly shocked Gallagher noticed just 11 players being left on the leaderboard, and sat down with a wryly smile.
Gallagher's first hand of the day quickly evaporated said smile, as Francis Foord-Brown decimated his stack. In position, Gallagher bet 110,000 on a 
flop and 170,000 on the 
turn.
On the river, Foord-Brown led out 275,000 and Gallagher called. Foord-Brown showed 
for the rivered two pair and Gallagher mucked his hand.

Tamer Kamel Eliminated in 12th Place (£5,470)
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
With 335,000 in chips left, Tamer Kamel shoved from early position. Pavlos Xanthopoulos called in the small blind, leaving himself with 650,000 behind.
In the big blind, Anton Kuznetsov moved all in for 1,800,000 total, putting the decision back on Xanthopoulos. The Greek thought long and hard before surrendering his hand, which turned out to be a wise decision.
Anton Kuznetsov:
Tamer Kamel: 
Kamel was in a deep hole from the start and couldn't dig his way out of it on 
. He finished 12th and added £5,470 to his already massive lifetime winnings. Kuznetsov is now the new chipleader.
