Willie Tann Eliminated in 6th Place (£23,900)

Willie Tann - 6th Place
Willie Tann - 6th Place

Andrew Pantling came in with a raise to 13,500, and Willie Tann was the lone caller from the small blind, fresh off his double up.

The flop came out {3-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}, and Tann led out into the pot with 20,000 chips. Pantling looked a bit puzzled, but he raised it up to 46,000 all the same. Tann already had his hands behind his stack before Pantling had even made a move, and he reraised all in back to Pantling. The call came quickly, and the cards were on their backs with Tann at risk.

Showdown
Pantling: {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}
Tann: {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades}

Tann was in bad shape, looking for a two-outer or some running straight cards to stay afloat. The turn {4-Clubs} was close but no cigar, and so was the {6-Hearts} river. With another heartfelt ovation, Willie Tann was ushered out the door as the first casualty of this final table. It's hard to say enough about the short-stacked performance he put on over the past three days, and it served him well all the way to a sixth-place finish. He'll take £23,900 as a reward for that effort.
