Ooh, here's one more chip count I know.

Alan McLean: 0

He shoved in late-ish position with , and was most unfortunate to smack right into Colin Young's on the button.

Board: a fiveless and we're down to 17 runners.

Steve Jelinek is the chip leader with around 430k. Full counts to come shortly.

Other counts I know...

Lawrence Gosney: around 370k
Dipak Makawana: 307k

Promise the rest are coming soon.

Should be some full chip counts coming our way any minute from the very excellent DTD people.

Play restarts in around a minute.

I'm off to retrieve the Maltesers I've got stashed in the car, and absolutely not smoke any cigarettes. Wish me luck.

Superb updates guys btw- really enjoying them

Thank you very much, the little yellow man tips his hat to you.

Kate Langshaw is OUT, getting her chips in with and getting called by Dipak Makawana (I believe the only player left in who's wearing a suit) holding . Langshaw had a few more outs on the turn, but nothing came in and out she goes, the last player in the £600 bracket.

Board:

We're down to two tables, and everyone is now guaranteed £946.

Colin Young is down to a meagre 32k after raising from the cutoff and then laying it down to reraise from Gurpreet Nagi in the small blind that would have put him in. "I'm not sure that was the right thing to do," he muttered as he watched his chips slide across the table to Nagi, but whether he was referring to the raising or the folding is unknown.

SKULLMAN has been reduced to mere bones; in fact, he's busted out completely, getting his involved with Paul Newman's .

"There's queens coming," said a hopeful SKULLMAN, but he was entirely wrong, as the board came down and off he went, while his chips became Newman's Own.

Newman may have broken a nail in his haste to call SKULLMAN's all in:

Mr Darren Shallis is up to 210k after knocking out somebody I suspect may have been Nicky Mclellan with Q-Q versus J-Q.

Hurrah, Shallis fans! Woe, Mclellan fans. Some kind of emotional quandary for those who like both players.

Our two Last Ladies Standing are, er, seated next to each other, most improbably.

Tania Narine (on the right): just 45k, yikes

Kate Langshaw (on the left): was going to say a mere 38k, but she has just now doubled up to 80k or so shoving with and getting herself called by Jesper Persson holding .

Board: no surprises

Persson: barely a dent in his monstrous stack

Ctrl V Vasileios Kontogiannis moved in on a flop. He was in for around 100k total.

Uber-stack Jesper Persson called.

River:

Vasileios Kontogiannis = OUT
Persson = giganto-chip leader, on somewhere around 500k.

Finally took a photo where he doesn't look like he's having a stroke:

And bless your hearts, Stratton fans - no sooner had I taken a dreadful photo of him than Dave Stratton busted. Looked to be pocket sevens against some sort of paint in Steve Jelinek's hand; a bunch of paint on the board and a sad Stratton putting his coat on.

Jelinek has around 230k.

Lloyd Griffiths heads for the door as his goes in behind Colin Young's and stays behind all the way down the board.

The Young one:

Gary Orme is similarly no more for this tournament, after moving all in to a raise from Hassan Irfan.

Orme:

No help, and we move on to the break.
