Roland De Wolfe Eliminated in 4th Place (£278,945)

Hand #135: It seemed like it was just a matter of time before one of Roland De Wolfe's short stack shoves reached a showdown, and the clock finally chimed as De Wolfe moved in from the small blind and neighbour Fabrizio Baldassari made the call.

De Wolfe: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Baldassari: {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

An uneventful {3-Clubs}{A-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} board (I willed a {10-Clubs} onto the turn, but to no avail) meant that De Wolfe was out in fourth.

De Wolfe is often regarded as a great chip-getter, but this week he proved his short stack abilities too by showcasing a never-say-die attitude that even Rocky would be proud off.

He's one of few triple crown winners in poker; the quadruple will have to wait.
