Just a small one this time, but it all counts.
Martin Jacobson raised to 185,000 from the button and Christopher Gonzales called in the big blind. Both players checked the 
flop and Gonzales checked again on the 
turn. This time Jacobson bet 275,000, and Gonzales let him take the pot.
We at the bloggers' desk had been amusing ourselves by noting down the number of times David Wilkinson had shoved preflop, much the way that prison inmates scratch the number of days they've spent inside on the wall. We'd reached three, when he got a call.
Wilkinson had been on the button when he'd shoved this time. Martin Jacobson had called from the big blind.
Wilkinson: 
Jacobson: 
Board: 
To some cheering from Wilkinson's rail, he doubled to 2.1 million. Jacobson dropped down to 2 million.
Said Wilkinson afterwards, we think to Mike Ellis: "Question is why did I make a move on the rock? That was a good call with ace-jack."
In middle position, Mike Ellis raised to 215,000 and was called by David Wilkinson in the big blind.
The flop ran out 
and both players checked. The turn card was a 
and Ellis folded to a 125,000-chip bet from Wilkinson.
It folded around to David Wilkinson in the small blind, who announced all in to cover Billy Griner in the big. Griner, who'd been reduced to just 500,000 or so, decided he had to gamble and called all in.
Wilkinson: 
Griner: less live than he would have liked with 
Board: 
Despite Griner sadly requesting the ten of hearts on both flop and turn, it was not to be. The look on his face as he busted was one of real devastation. Although he didn't win a bracelet this time, he nevertheless takes home a chunky six-figure payday for his sterling efforts.
Christopher Gonzales opened the pot in middle position and Mike Ellis moved all in from the big blind. Gonzales called.

Eliis completed his flush and doubled up, is now up to 3,750,000. Gonzales slipped to 2,500,000 and loosed the chip lead he had since the beginning of this final table.
David Wilkinson raised in the cutoff only for Martin Jacobson to shove from the button. The players in the blinds ducked out of their way, and Wilkinson made the call.

Jacobson shook hands with his opponents, and he headed for the rail and his two loyal supporters, $183,345 richer.
Our final three will be back at the felt in 20.
