Jomeen Completes Roller Coaster Ride

Karim Jomeen's day has endured more twists and turns than an entire Series of Columbo today, but the final chapter saw him eliminated from the event rather than holding the title aloft.

After nurturing a 20,000 stack from his nasty aces versus kings beat, Jomeen managed to double his way up to 46,000, before feeling the wrath of Ronald Lee in seat one.

All in with {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} versus Lee's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, Jomeen was in need of the luck that had previously evaded him. The first four cards - {8-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades} - seemed to be offering him a second life, but right at the death, a {K-Hearts} hit the river to send him home in devilish manner.

"Keep the cards there," requested Jomeen as he dipped into his pocket.

There was then a rather awkward moment as Jomeen fiddled around with his phone trying to take a picture of the board. Despite the pause, his opponents were gentlemanly in their patience and Jomeen managed to get his parting shot before slipping away into the distance.

Lee, meanwhile, just about had his foe out-chipped, and is now up to the 100,000 mark as a result.
