he folded to a 3bb shove with an ace ? but perhaps thats why he is still in bristol and I am sitting at home !!

Dan was in small blind and folded. Duffy in big blind folded. Then Dan showed the Ace.

14th place for Nigel King. All in preflop for 14k from the small blind, holding the majestic Dolly 95o. Called by 63o of Jack Kendall.

Board 36A and he was drawing very slim already...

No help on the turn or river, and Nigel finishes in 14th. That"s good for £110.

Mark Porter is out in 13th place. Shoved with A9, called by Tens. No help. Mark takes £160.

Fast(ish) approaching the final table. We"re now down to the final 12.

[Matt D]

2 big hands back to back...

On one table, and on a board of

Jake Dursley bets out 12k into a pot of 30k. Jack Kendall min-clicks back to 24k.

Jake calmly makes it 55k to go. Jack asks for a count....

The stacks are pretty even....

Jack is all in!!....

Jake folds...

Jack shows J7o.

[Matt D]

At the exact same time on the other table, Duffy is all in with Kings, vs. her opponent Roger Smith"s Queens.

The board blanks all the way, until the sickener of a Queen arrives on the river (!)...

Duffy is down to fumes (4k = 40% of a bigblind), and is out the next hand...

[Matt D]

And whilst I"m typing that up, Roger Smith knocks another player out, again on the river....

This time Stu Greenan is the unlucky chap.

The hand played out thusly:

Roger holding raises to 28k (2.8x bb). Stu Greenan goes all-in for 52k, and Roger - now pot committed - has to make the call.

Again the board runs out very safely for his opponent.. Right until the river.... which lands a fateful Nine, besting Stu"s Sevens.

Stu Greenan finishes 10th for £160.

Well done Emily, crackin result x

She says thank you for the support especially from you and Duffy - Emily has just about downgraded her "crushing disappointment" into "overwhelming disappointment" that she didn"t win the whole thing. So a good sign that she has the mentality of a future champion

[Matt D]

We are now on a 20 minute break. Full chip counts and a table draw to follow...

~In related news, having typed "Jack" Kendall for the past 2 days, I read the list of player names... and spot that he is listed as "Jake" Kendall on the casino system/player list.

Going back through the last 4 pages and changing every instance of "Jack" for "Jake", I then ask the player.... and find I was right the first time after all. brb, just going to change all the Jake"s for Jack"s
