[snoopy1239]

Keith Lehr first doubles up off Emil Patel (pictured) with vs. on a board before Patel semi-returns the favour splitting a pot with the same player holding vs. and a board.

Noam didn't realise at first as he shook his opponent's hand, but when the light bulb went ping, he said, "Oh, well, you deserved a split pot anyway."

I spoke to Ram as well, "You've been up and down all day."

[snoopy1239]

Mark Vos is OUT.

Face bright red with rage, adrenalin pumped and somewhat teary eyed, a devastated Mark Vos swiftly exited his seat and departed the cardroom just moments after the River card was dealt.

Excluding the big 'chip leader' hand with Erik Friberg, his demise began a hand or two earlier when his button raise to 16k was pushed off by a small blind re-raise to 40k from Dutch Boyd.

Then, after a fierce re-raising war with Seat 1's Greg Pohler, Vos was all-in pre-flop with a decent amount of chips piled in the middle, around 3 or 400k in fact.

On their backs, and the young Aussie was delighted to find himself well ahead with Jacks v Tens, but while silently awaiting, and praying for, the raggy board to arrive, the dealer got into bed with the Poker Gods to deliver a cruel blow on the River, a sneaky ten popping out on the Turn of a board.

We're a Vos down.

Tony G has doubled through Dutch Boyd with vs

"I'll have all your chips and you'll be out in ten minutes!" shouts Tony.

"You're the loudest, luckiest donkey here," replies the the man in the headscarf.

"Better than being the loudest, unluckiest donkey though."

[easypickings]

Wow, there's some consolation for not being able to sleep at all, I can follow the action!

That's a sick exit for Mark Vos, two massive pots with set against a flush draw and then jacks vs tens. Knowing him, he'll be devastated, he takes everything to heart which I really like.

The winner of this tournament  has sneaked in quietly, and has always been shortstacked. Tony G has no fear and is my pick to take this thing down.

Great updates guys, as ever.

[easypickings]

Does Tony G ever lose a 50/50, the guy is incredible?

How many are left guys?

Interesting moral dilemna actually. I was set upon by a midget tonight in a club, kicking and punching with all his might. What is the correct thing to do in this rather bizarre situation?

[snoopy1239]

Young enough to be JP Kelly's grandson, this is Alex Bolutin, your current chip leader with 1,160,000.

[NoflopsHomer]

This is most likely your chip leader, we think it's Alex Bolotin but we've been kicked out of the tournament area by one of those ambitious interns who love to wield authority like a giant club. The tournament director types are top people and really help us out, but these young guys seem desperate to make a name for themselves.

Anyway, he flopped a flush with against Bill Edler's on a board to double up, before knocking out Rene Mouritsen with vs on a board. Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf passed Ace Queen in this hand.

The pics are before the 7-7 vs A-K and after.

Bill Edler has since doubled up with against the of Bill Gazes, the being the first card out with the rest of the board coming
