With behind the scenes action on the DTD feature table…

The action up front was for the UK PLO CHAMPIONSHIP Freezeout, with £50+£10 buy-in, topping out at 96 unique entries generating a £4,800 prize fund with £1,560 up top for the winner.

1st	£1,560
2nd	£1,000
3rd	£600
4th	£430
5th	£315
6th	£240
7th	£190
8th	£145
9th	£120
10th	£100
11th	£100

First to secure some of that cash in 11^th position was John O’Reilly, with Sophie Clarke departing in 10^th – both picking up a £100 min cash.

Seat	Name	Surname	Stack
1	Mihail	Popa	740,000
2	Simon	Trumper	745,000
3	Grant	Mason	270,000
4	Craig	Bickerton	260,000
5	Haresh	Thaker	560,000
6	Jo	Chillmaid	160,000
7	Daniel	Rogers	880,000
8	Harry	Chapman	620,000
9	Colin	Andrews	170,000

Colin Andrews was first to depart in 9^th for £120 at the hands of Jo Chillmaid, only for Jo to follow in 8^th for £145 just prior to a Flopped pot of 2s 3c 7d saw 300k in the middle – with Mihail Popa and Simon Trumper both getting it All In, with Simon at risk of elimination, but ahead… and he was saved when Mihail completely missed the Board and Simon scoped around 1m chips.

Haresh Thaker left in 7^th (£190) with Grant Mason picking up £240 for 6^th before it was all over for Mihail Popa in 5^th when his JJA3 ran into QQJ4 which held – he earned £315.

Simon Trumper went on a run as he doubled through Harry Chapman before picking up a 850k pot with his 7 (only) playing of his 4h 7h 10c Jd.

Craig Bickerton got involved when he bet 300k on the River with 1 pair, only to see Dan Rogers make a hero call with his 72off playing for 2 pair and Dan took a circa 1.2m pot – before Craig departed next having shoved with 4 10 J Q but completely missed – 4^th spot for £430.

Simon Trumper got his last 550k over the line holding 3d 6d 6h As against the 5c 8d Jd Qd but had no luck when Dan hit a straight to send Simon to the rail in 3^rd for £600 and Championship Bronze Medal.

Heads Up flew through… Harry Chapman with 10s Jh Qh Kc found himself at risk of elimination against Dan Rogers’ 6h 8s Js Jd and with the Board 3h 6s 7h 10h 3c Harry Chapman picked up £1,000 and Championship Silver Medal.
