[Matt D]

Jack folds face up, tapping the table to acknowledge a nicely timed bet from his opponent.

And so it goes, we are on to the next hand...

Jack, mixing it up a little, makes a flat call from the button this time. Jake exploits this by raising to 95k and Jack calls...



This time it"s 106k from Jake.

Jack reaches for a stack of blacks....

[Matt D]

Pushing them across the line in such a manner that they slowly cascade to the table surface, the bet is revealed to be 325k.

Jake quickly folds.

[Matt D]

A raise and a call gives us an all spade flop:

Jake makes a much smaller bet this time. 81k. Is this a massive show of strength? ... Jack calls.



Both players check.

and Jack fires out 125k. All in from Jake. Call from Jack!!!

[Matt D]

for Jack and 2 pairs.

for Jake and the flopped open ended straight flush (and royal flush) draw...

The flush takes the pot, leaving Jack with 500k. Jake has 1.7m now and is in a commanding position.

[Matt D]

All in from a wounded Jack. Jake folds. Jack flips red twos.

[Matt D]

Another huge pot!

An all-in from Jack Kendall is met with an instant call from Jake Dursley.

for Jake

and

for Jack

....

completing Jack"s straight!

The red flash of a card hits the river... is it a flush...

but it"s the and Jack doubles up!.

We are now back to even stacks...

[Matt D]

The price of playing poker is going up!...

We have reached the heights of level 23 and blinds of 25k/50k/4k.

[IrishTom]

S3 Jo Harris 200k
S4 Chem Tam 6th
S5 Milana Landale 3rd
S6 Paula Cowling 5th

[Matt D]

Though they"ve now headed back to Jack again... This is a great heads up between two skilful players. I don"t think we"ve seen one hand folded pre flop yet.

[Matt D]

Back to almost even stacks again (Jake 1.2m and Jack 1m)...

Jack raises to 150k. Jake jams for 1.2m and Jack calls very quickly.

Whoever wins this pot wins the game. If Jake wins he"ll bust Jack. If Jack wins, Jake will be left with just 200k and you"d fear no way back.

The cards are placed upon their backs, and it"s a classic race.

Jake Dursley has

Jack Kendall has .
