Peter Turmezey Eliminated in 31st Place (£25,340)

[user25067]

An attack of the television cameras prevented us from getting anywhere near the table, but Daniel Negreanu helped to recreate the hand for us.

With the board reading {K-?}

on the river, Peter Turmezey moved all in for his remaining 40,000 on the river and Toni Hiltunen made the call. Turmezey's pair of fives with {A-Diamonds}

was no match for Hiltunen's pair of kings with {K-?}

in the hole, and Turmezey exited in 31st place, collecting the tidy sum of £25,340.

Justin Case I'm Winning...

[user46392]

Justin Smith bet 30,000 to Erik Seidel's turn-time check on the {5-Clubs}

board, and Seidel called. He again checked the {K-Spades}

river and this time Smith bet an enormous 68,900 -- Seidel looked pained, but called, and mucked when Smith turned over {2-Hearts}

for the flopped set. Seidel's stack is more or less bisected and he is down to 140,000; Smith meanwhile returns to the top of the chip counts on well over 500,000.

[user46392]

Talal Shakerchi has lost an enormous pot to Brandon Adams, knocking him down to 235,000.

With around 80,000 in the pot by the river of the {5-Spades}

board, Shakerchi checked to Adams, who bet 40,000. After a few moments Shakerchi called, and mucked to Adam's {Q-Diamonds}

flush. Adams is now up to around 280,000.

Haughey Doubles Through Seidel

[user46392]

Not a quadruple-up this time, but a mere double-up for William Haughey. Talal Shakerchi raised to 9,000 from the cutoff an Haughey shoved for 24,300. On the big blind Erik Seidel called and Shakerchi decided he'd better get out of their way, and folded.

Haughey: {A-Clubs}

Seidel: {2-Clubs}

Williamsson: {A-Spades}

Board:

With a handshake and a nod, Williamsson was gone.
