Gerald Ringe doubles up - and what a catch...

With no action before him, Ringe shoved for 130k preflop.  Neighbour Priyan on the button really gave a dwell worthy of his opponent, before passing with a show of reluctance.  Pass to big blind Patrik Selin, who instacalls, however.

River:    Patrik shakes his head, and can't have liked Priyan adding here that he'd been dwelling with A-J, while Nick Gibson had passed A-9!

Leo Kam has doubled up courtesy of Carl Buskirk.

Both players saw a raised pot of . Kam bet 30k and was called. The turn was a Q. Kam again bet, this time 45k i think and was called. On the river Kam checked and Buskirk set him in which Kam insta-called.

Showing QT for top 2 pair Kam took the pot down whilst Buskirk instantly mucked...

Leo Kam, by the way, is raising on his table about as often as Nick Gibson is raising on his.  He's got away with three sets of 6k/12k blinds in the last 20 minutes, only pushed off a preflop raise once by Michael Bale moving in over the top.  The guy seems a pretty tidy player and has gradually built chips until it all went a bit wrong earlier, and he started to drift back down - but not for long.  If he makes the final table, it will be with a good stack and a pretty formidable, if quiet, table presence.

POTW

[JungleCat03]

As Jen related Leo Kam has been busier than a beaver raising from late position and has just been involved in another big pot. Raising from the cut-off to 45k or so, Charles Denton went over the top for another 120k on top. The blinds of Ian Cox and Michael Bale paused for a while before laying down and Kam eventually made the call.

Kam showed , Denton .

The first two contrasting cards of the flop sorted things out, the falling to give Denton the advantage before the   fell to virtually sew it up for Lam. Three more largely irrelevant cards later and Lam had bolstered his stack whilst meanwhile....

Charles Denton is OUT, eliminated in 13th place for £3,460

Gerald Ringe has just been involved in a big pot. Holding JJ and no doubt facing another of Kam's preflop raises, Ringe was happy to move his chips in preflop with .

Kam made the call with Q9 and one Q-3-T-2-9 flop later Kam's ever swelling stack was even larger and ....

And we have our unlucky final table bubble finisher.

Once Priyan found AK and Nick Gibson found AA, the large blinds meant this woud inevitably mean the chips all went into the middle preflop and indeed that is what happened.

There were no fluked straights, flushes or trippy kings to surprise anyone, meaning...

Priyan De Mel is OUT, eliminated in 10th place for £6,500 and we now know the full line up for tomorrow's final...

Congratulations to Ian Cox on another final table, well played my friend.

[JungleCat03]

That elimination means we are now finished for the day.

The full line up plus official chip counts will follow shortly, but just a quick note to remind you to join us at 3 pm tomorrow for the final table.

Blondite Ian Cox will be there (as usual!) and it will be interesting to see how the aggressive big stacks of Karl Buskirk, Leo Kam and Nick Gibson all deal with each other.

We'll see you there, but for now
