Amazing Comeback from Kamber
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mor Kamber has just performed a fantastic comeback from 15,000 to 350,000.
After an awful start to the day that saw Kamber reduced from 430,000 to 15,000, she battled back to 75,000.

Kamber flipped over 
and held against Plomp's 
to pull in the 170,000 pot.
In the very next hand, the action folded around to Jamie Rutherford in the small blind and his all in for 375,000 was snap-called by Kamber.
Kamber had a shocked look on her face, and with good reason, after she turned over back-to-back pocket aces.
Rutherford held 
, and when the board fell 
, Kamber held to secure a 360,000 pot and a potential comeback.

Ryan Kelly Eliminated in 15th Place (£5,000)
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ryan Kelly was all in for 300,000 and saw Yiqian Song call.
Kelly: 
Song: 
Board: 
Kelly saw Song take on the lead on the turn when the queen hit, and there was no miracle river for Kelly.
However, Kelly can't be dismayed by his performance, having survived on the money bubble when his ace-queen ran into ace-king, but a straight on the board produced a chop pot.
Kelly takes away £5,000 as Song moves up to 900,000.
