[Djinn]

But first, breaking Elimination News Now -

Lalit (on the button, again) raises it with (again) only to run into Ali Mallu on the big blind (again) with (again).

This time there was no escape, and Lalit Khajuria finishes in 8th place, winning £5,000

THANK YOU X

[Djinn]

And this is only in the last five minutes - Dave Clark had just 35k when he took on Luke Patten with .  Luke held , but the race went Dave's way.

So, just now did Rumit's - the ever helpful Jamie tells me "he went from microstack to ministack."

Typical, it's quiet for two hours and then they all go bonkers... and it's mainly Rumit's doing.

Firstly, having built back to 44k he pushed under the gun with .  Paul King in the cutoff, similarly stacked, called with .  An Ace on the turn knocked Paul down to just 7k.  So you think he might have finished 7th, right?

WRONG

Two of the precious five hands left to Paul went by, and on the second, Dave Clark made it 20k to go (a third of his stack).  Rumit in the small blind said that fateful phrase, "How much are you playing?" before pushing all in.  He covered Dave, and when the call was made these were the hands:
Dave showed: 
Rumit showed:  .

The board

Which made Dave Clark the 7th place finisher winning £5,800

[Djinn]

So Paul King makes a move then?  No - there kicks off a massive battle of the blinds between Luke Patten (small blind) and Ali Mallou.  Raise, re-raise, an "I don't believe you" re-re-raise and they're on their backs.
Ali shows: 
Luke shows: 

A spiked Ace meant Ali Mallou is the 6th place finisher, receiving £6,500

[Djinn]

And now, having climbed two spots in five minutes - Paul King exits in 5th, winning £10,100
