Play has just started, with the final tables (apart from Nik Persaud, who's apparently in a cafe round the corner) already into their second or third hand.
A deal has been struck giving £500 to the four non-moneying guys (£1,000 off first, £500 off second and third) so they aren't going home from Day Three empty-handed.

Joey Lovelady has become our first exit of the day. He made his move with K-Q, but ran into the Pocket Cowboys of Greg Howard (pictured below). He spiked a Queen, but it wasn't enough as the Turn and River brought mere blanks.
He doesn't go away empty handed, however, as, to the surprise of no one, savers were made so that everyone who made the final day went home with somesort of slice of the pie.

Three limpers on McCloskey's BB - one of them small blind Flushy. Flop:
. Check to Nik Persaud (limper 1) who bets 17k. Jamie passes and Flushy announces Raise All In. A think from Nik, but a pass when faced with calling 60k more...
Other table: Joe Grech (My Pick since yesterday afternoon) Button raises to 18k, called by small blind Ian Nelson. Flop:
. Chatty Joe announces he'd better check to see if he's got it when Ian checks to him (personally, I think he was seeing his hand for the first time) and then bets 18k. Ian folds.
"I've got it," he says, showing
.
Continuing his ramble, Joe says, "We're going to be playing some games today, I'm afraid. Cat and mouse games. Who is the cat? Who is the mouse?"
Crackers, but still heading steadily for the final.

Paul Higgins finishes in 18th place -
Short stacked, he found an open space and moved in with
. Unfortunately for him, neighbour Vince Birt woke up with
, and wasn't going anywhere. The board brought no help, and the quiet Irish player is out...
Meanwhile, another pair of shorter stacks, Mick McCloskey and Stuart Nash, get it all in preflop - the former moving in with
and the latter calling with (victorious)
. Double through for Stuart, and Mick is in bad shape.

And Snoopy's snaps seem to have effectively bokked the Irish - Mick McCloskey finished in 17th place after moving the rest in with
, getting it through all the way to the big blind, who called with
and knocked him out.
Play is hand for hand. Chip counts soon....

Double through for Praz -
Simon raises preflop to 32k, and Praz has to really think about moving in for his 60-odd - he's getting called... in the end he pushes, Simon calls, and they're on their backs...
Simon shows:
Praz shows:
Board comes out:
And after that, the chips are about so:
Alan Henson 53k
Flushy 140k
Stuart Nash 66k
Greg Howard 200k
Karl Mahrenholz 210k
Damon D'Cruz 86k
Nik Persaud 95k
Jamie Miller 64k
Joe Grech 166k
Ian Nelson 120k
Praz Bansi 120k
Robert Bright 135k
Vince Birt 101k

Jamie Miller, who'd prayed pretty tight today and dwindled to what he probably felt an unacceptable level, moved in under the gun with
, and it probably would have gotten through if Stuart Nash hadn't found
and called, taking all but the big blind from the young player...
The next hand it folded round, and Nik in the small blind autocalled blind, showing
. Jamie turned his cards over one at a time showing first the
.. then the
. Nik warns him, "I haven't lost a race all year..." and with the Jack coming on the turn, the
16th player is eliminated - Jamie Miller
exits the room.

Alan Henson has doubled up to over 100k courtesy of James Dempsey.
James raised under-the-gun, only to look on in dismay as Alan Henson moved all-in from the big blind with A-J.
It's another 36k more (the original raise was 23k), called with A-4.
Flop = 9-9-K
"Pair the board!" demands James, but to no avail as the Turn and River bring a Queen and a Ten.

Nik Persaud has had his share of premiums today - raising under the gun, no action, showing Aces; raising on the button, no action, showing Queens... "WTF is wrong with this table?" he complains. Got one through without showing, too...
Robert Bright raises to 32k, and nearly gets a call from Joe Grech with his
, but no, he decides against it (Robert shows
)...
We are now on a 15 min break.

Another Irishman out, and due to a pretty sick call from Praz...
Praz raised on the button to 35k (blinds 5k/10k ante 1k). Small blind Robert Bright moved in, for another 74,500. This was a big decision... "You've got a pile of shit and a pair of balls," was the conclusion Praz vocally came to, calling with his
.
Robert showed:
Board:
So
Robert Bright
finishes in
15th
place, for
£1,600

James Dempsey is OUT
Eights (button) vs Karl Mahrenholz's Queens (Big Blind)
Board looked like it might bring a straight, but it didn't.
7-T-7-9-T

Joe Grech raises to 26k pre-flop (blinds are 5k/10k), only for Ray Wyre to move all-in (he hesitated this time, unlike when he had the Aces) from the big blind for 79,500.
Decent amount of time spent in the think tank before Joe folds, only to allow Ray to smugly reveal

Hot on his heels,
Stuart Nash
is eliminated in
14th
place, winning
£1,600
He raised to 30k, and found Karl putting him in from the Big Blind. Short stacked Nash thought about it a while. Karl said, "You're either in a world of hurt, or you're very far behind." "Neither of those is very attractive," replied Stuart, but he went for it anyway (looked pretty committed) with
. Karl showed
. The board showed no danger for Karl, and we're down to 13.
