On the very last hand of the night, actor Neil Pearson (of "Drop the Dead Donkey" fame) raised to 6k from the button after Dave Colclough had limped for 1.2k in the cutoff.

R W Stain dwelt up in the big blind, before pushing all in for 48.8k. Neil only had around half that, but he still made a cracking call with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

, perhaps the threat of returning as a short stack influencing his decision.

Stain flipped over {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

and started praying for an eight. However, although an eight failed to arrive, a split pot did, the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

board meaning Pearson returns on Friday with a short stack whether he likes it or not.
