Slow-going on the final table. First Steve Templeman moves in from the cut-off and gets no callers, then Mehmet gets a walk in the big blind.

Next Tina raises to 24k in EP and gets the blinds.


Finally Mehmet min-raises (he does this a lot) on the button, Ariel Adda calls in the small blind and calls a 10k bet on the flop from Mehmet before check/raising Mehmet's 10k bet on the turn to 45k getting the chip leader to pass,


Just been speaking to one of the Luton dealers and they'll most likely be introducing a running ante in their next festival in April. Hurrah!

With the blinds 3k/6k Andrew Georgiou moves all-in from early position for 29k (he's rockier than Red, in fact he's Crimson). Mehmet Cinar looks him up from the BB with , and finds he's way behind the of Georgiou.

Board:



Georgiou up to 62k. Mehmet still has over 300k though.

Andrew Georgiou moves all-in against for 40k after Mehmet's preflop raise to 15k, Mehmet calls with against the of Georgiou.

Flop:



Pretty conclusive huh?

Next hand Georgiou moves all-in after Tina Jordan's EP raise to 24k, everyone passes, he shows Aces.


I think Mehmet has lost about 200k of his 367k final table starting stack.

Glenn Ashworth finishes 8th winning £3,260


Cinar raised to 30k in second position with the blinds now at 4-8k

Ashworth in the BB with  said afterwards "I just did not put him on a big hand, he'd been losing a lot of chips and I didn't think he would call"

Sadly for him Cinar had  , which held up without any dramas when Cinar called for the remaining 60k

[NoflopsHomer]

Ariel raises to 25k in EP, Mark Lowe re-raises it by 38k more. Ariel dwells for a couple of minutes before moving in, Mark insta-calls with . Ariel shows .

Board:



Massive pot, over 300k goes to Lowe who is now chip leader, and has been insensitive by ruining my chips counts. Ariel has around 30k left.

Adda then moves all-in for 29k and Lowe calls him in the SB with 

Adda has  , which holds to give him a lifeline
