Big Slick Enough For Trickett
Sam Trickett raised to 230,000 from the button and Jason DeWitt made the call in the small blind.
The flop landed 
and DeWitt check-called for 300,000. The turn was the 
and both checked, and again checked down the 
river.
Trickett showed 
as DeWitt flashed the 
and mucked. Trickett is at around 5 million with DeWitt at 6 million.
Peter Gilmore Eliminated in 4th Place ($241,472)
Sam Trickett raised to 230,000 from the button before Peter Gilmore announced he was all in from the big blind. After a quick count, the total was 1.18 million, and Trickett made the call.
Trickett: 
Gilmore: 
Gilmore was in a dominant position to double up but the flop was terrible for him as it fell 
and Trickett picked up a double-gutshot straight draw to go with his pair outs. The 
was also a bad one as now Trickett picked up the jack and queen as chop outs. Gilmore was desperate for a brick but the river was the 
to give Trickett a straight and the pot.
Gilmore departs in fourth place for $241,472 as Trickett is back up over 5 million in chips.
Long Hand, Big Pot
In a hand that lasted close to ten minutes, we didn't even get to see a flop. The dealers are earning a great $ per hand dealt in this level, that's for sure.
Sam Trickett raised to 230,000. Tank from DeWitt. Raise to 625,000. Tank from Trickett. Re-raise to 1.4 million. Extra long tank from DeWitt. All in from DeWitt and Trickett insta-mucks.
Have the bubbles gone to his head? Trickett has now lost his chip lead as DeWitt has all the momentum.
More Drinks?
While a member of the Rio wait staff is currently dedicated solely to the job of pouring champagnes to the rail, another dozen beers and mixed drinks have just been brought into the final table area.
It's currently the focus of the room while the players are tanking again over a big hand.
Champagne Anyone?
It looks like the Brits are celebrating a little prematurely. The entourage of Sam Trickett have just ordered at least a half dozen bottles of champagne and a lovely little strawberry and cream platter to enjoy while they watch the conclusion of this final table.
At the moment it looks like they're in negotiations as to who will actually be paying. James Akenhead appears to have drawn the short straw.
Looks like it's about to get a little rowdy in here!
DeWitt Collects Big Pot...Eventually
Jason DeWitt raised it up from under the gun to 240,000 with Peter Gilmore making the call on the button.
The flop of 
was checked by both players before the hit the turn. DeWitt checked and Gilmore fired 250,000. After a few moments of deliberation DeWitt announced a check-raise to 625,000. Gilmore made the call as a silence fell across the crowd as a massive pot was brewing.
The river put an out there to add to the suspense. Again DeWitt sat quietly for a good minute or two before firing 775,000. Now it was Gilmore's turn in the tank, and according to the clock, this hand had already taken eight minutes until this point.
Gilmore eventually let it go and DeWitt takes the first pot of the new level. Gilmore is down to 1.37 million with DeWitt up to 3.5 million
