Johnny Lodden - 11th Place Finisher
Johnny Lodden - 11th Place Finisher
Short-stacks Johnny Lodden and Peter Neff have just clashed in a classic coinflip that resulted in Lodden's elimination.

All of the money went in before the flop; Lodden's with {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} and Neff's with {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}.

The {J-Clubs} {10-Spades} {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs} board ran out in favor of Neff, who stacked up ~500,000 in chips after the hand.

Lodden will take home £54,300 for his 11th place finish. The action is now paused as the TV crews rearrange the set for the 10-handed unofficial final table. Play will resume momentarily!

Chris Elliott Doubles Through Peter Neff

Saved by the river
Saved by the river
Robin Keston opened for a raise, Chris Elliott moved all in from the cutoff, Peter Neff dwelled a bit before making the call from the small blind and Keston folded. On their backs...

Elliott: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}

Neff: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

The flop was {7-Spades} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, Neff's tens still leading. The turn was the {3-Spades}, but the {A-Hearts} spiked on the river, earning Elliott the double-up.

"That's right! That's right!" shouted Elliott, slamming the felt directly in front of Neff, who remained cool and impassive as Elliott raked in the pot.

Demidov Chips Away at Keston

Robin Keston opened for 28,000 and Ivan Demidov made the call. The flop was {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn was the {J-Diamonds}. Keston checked, Demidov bet 60,000 and Keston called. The river brought the {9-Hearts} and another check from Keston. Demidov bet 80,000 and Keston called.

Demidov tabled {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} for the straight and raked in the pot.
