Raj on the button moves in over the top of Neil Carr's preflop raise... a countdown later and Neil faces 169k more...Call.
Neil shows: 
Raj shows: 

Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

Double up and polite round of applause for short stack Raj.

go raj

[NoflopsHomer]

Flop:



Albert (who else?) bets 50k, Neil (who does a lot of hand over mouth thinking) makes it 150k. Albert calls. (The two most repeated words on the update)

Turn:



Albert checks. Neil moves in for 431k. Albert CALLS!

Neil:



Albert:



River:



Someone finally takes a stand against Albert's constant betting and Albert still manages to call with no hand on the flop. Perhaps this tournament is about to swing another way...

chips count pls jen

[Djinn]

Albert, with dented stack for the first time in a long while, makes it 80k preflop -  pass round.  Tilt appears to be moving anticlockwise...
________________________________

Heads up -   Dave checks, Roberto checks.
Turn:    Dave checks, Roberto minbets and takes that one.
________________________________

flop, Raj checks it and so do Albert and Neil, they see the turn, check-check-check
River:  check to Neil who gives it a go for 40k - Albert calls.  Neil has the - muck from his caller and some more chips for the birthday boy.


These are the edited highlights - play has slowed somewhat at this point.

I am afraid this is the one thing we don't have a good idea about - we're a good two floors and three corridors away from the final table, and our picture feed in the press room isn't totally steady.  I will brave the Stage in a convenient moment soon, however.

[NoflopsHomer]

Dave raises to 60k, Roberto and Raj pass. Will Albert call? Of course he does. Neil passes.

Flop:



Albert and Dave both check.

Turn:



Check again. I'm not impressed.

River:



Now Albert just decides to muck rather than just check. Pot shipped over to the Hat-wearing man.
______________________________________

Passed to Neil in the small blind, who calls and Dave checks.

Flop:



Neil bets 20k and Dave insta-folds. And the crowd dies a little inside from this tedium.
______________________________________

Albert calls, Dave calls from the small blind and Roberto (who is uber-quiet at the moment)......raises 60k more. Albert manages to push his cards away from himself and Dave passes.

[Djinn]

Microbreak, and they're back playing... blinds are now 10k/20k ante 2k.

Why is Roberto being so passive? Not like him!

1) Small blind Neil takes the big blind by raising to 50k.

2) Roberto pushes in preflop over Albert's preflop raise to 50k...presumably Roberto is expecting a call is more likely than not.  But Albert thinks for a good couple of minutes (Roberto silent, for once).  Call.

The collective press gasp as we find Roberto has tried to bluff The Caller of the Tournament:
 
Roberto shows: 
Albert shows: 

Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

And Roberto Romanello is out in 5th place, winning £18,300

I'm sure Roberto will be kicking himself here, Albert has hardly passed a single hand after raising and was certainly the wrong person to bluff. Perhaps Roberto just got frustrated with being card dead for the last couple of hours. He wasn't his usual loud chirpy self, and the pressroom really thought he had to have a big pair because Albert must be calling any all-in at least 90% of the time, and he just does NOT pass. Anything.

It's a case of right move, wrong player at the wrong time.
