Chris Ferguson Eliminated in 7th Place (£33,000)

[user25067]

No one hits quads like Theo Jorgensen hits quads.

Chris Ferguson got his entire stack in on a flop of {K-Clubs}

and Theo Jorgensen made the call.

Ferguson {A-Clubs}

Jorgensen

Jorgensen flopped a set of sixes, but Ferguson was in good shape with the nut flush draw and a straight draw. The turn, though, was a total disaster for Ferguson as the {6-Clubs}

landed, making Jorgensen quads yet again. The inconsequential {9-Diamonds}

fell on the river and Jesus hit the rail in seventh place, collecting £33,000 for his efforts today.

Dalby Survives

[user4144]

Eric Dalby limped UTG for 10,000, Sorel Mizzi joined the party on the button, Theo Jorgensen made it 50,000 from the big blind and both Dalby and Mizzi made the call.

With Jorgensen checking the {K-Hearts}

flop, Dalby bet the pot (viturally all his chips). Both opponents folded.

Max Pescatori Doubles Through Erik Friberg

[user4144]

With the board reading {K-Hearts}

, Max Pescatori found himself all in and in commanding shape with {9-Spades}

against Erik Friberg's {10-Clubs}

. While the {3-Hearts}

turn threatened the flush, no further heart emerged on the {8-Spades}

river and Pescatori doubled through, much to the delight of the Italian faithful watching from the rail.

David Penly Eliminated in 6th Place (£41,250)

[user4144]

With Italian Pirate Max Pescatori making it 41,000 preflop, big blind David Penly took one quick glance at his cards before announcing, "All in," and sliding an extra 150,000 across the felt. Pescatori called quicker than a pack of dogs on a three-legged cat.

Pescatori = {K-Clubs}
