[snoopy1239]

Steve Read doubles up.

Brian Medley limped for 2k under the gun, Read raised to 8k with A-K, Brian called.

Medley bet the 3-Q-3 flop, read moved all-in, and Medley called.

River = A

[snoopy1239]

Brian Medley is on a hot streak after receiving the bad beat from Read.

Short stacked, he moves all-in on a flop of , only to find a quick call from Hewston in the blind.

Hewston flips K-9, Medley the bullets.

Turn =

river drowns 'Texas'


Then, on the very next hand, Medley bets 4k, Hewston (seemingly on tilt), moves all-in in, for quite a chunky reraise too.

Medley calls pretty quickly and shows .

Hewston wasn't necessarily steaming after all as he showed pocket tens.

Board =

How quickly the tide turns.

Hewston is now short-stacked and look as though he'll be taking that 9th spot after a bad run of luck.

[snoopy1239]

Hewston raises preflop, Read makes a deep reach, Hewston folds reluctantly showing an Ace. Read reveals pocket tens.

[snoopy1239]

Chris Sokrati raises from the button with pocket eights, Mark Emberson moves over the top from the big blind with tens, Chris folds (very reluctantly).

Socrati is now down to just 16k and found it excruciatingly difficult to release the hand with so few chips.

[snoopy1239]

And John Hewston becomes our 9th place finisher.

His all-in preflop steal with J-8 ran into the pocket kings of Steve Read.

King on the flop.

[snoopy1239]

We're at the final table bubble.

One more elimination and the field be whittled down to 1 table of 7.

[snoopy1239]

A deal has been struck with 7th and 8th receiving 1k each off the top.

1st prize is therefore 25k.

[snoopy1239]

And it's Chris Sokrati who takes that bubble spot.

He was very short anyhow, but made his move with A-3.

Mark Emberson called from the bib blind with A-K.

No help arrived.
