Ketul has morphed into an Akira-stylee Gigantic Ultimate Ketul Warrior, rampaging all over his table.

He button-raises, and Tony Phillips calls him.

The flop is and they both check.

Turn - - Tony checks again and Ketul bets 120k; he is called.

River - another and once more Tony checks. Not messing about, Ketul announces all in. Tony folds.

I AM ULTIMATE KETUL!!!! YOU ARE MY SLAVES!!!!!!

...is something he did not say, but I wish he had. Sigh.

[danafish]

And Dave Rudling has a spot of luck when it folds around to Tony Phillips on the small blind, who promptly puts him in with K-3; Rudling finds A-Q and calls.

Board - Q-8-2-3-Q for a Rudling good double-up.

"Keep the applause to a minimum, everyone" says he, as a single guy claps from the rail.

[Indestructable]

Well played Chilli.

Dave Rudling is OUT and becomes the 4th place finisher winning £33,920

As Dan and Tony threw in their cards, Dave Rudling raised it up to 80k from the small blind only for the super aggressive Ketul Nathwani to announce all-in. Dave called quicker than Linford Christie with a rocket lodged between his bum cheeks and proudly revealed his A-J, confident that it was in front. And he was right, as Ketul could only produce an inferior Q-2.

However, as we already know, poker can be a cruel game at times, and when you have two live cards, and a big stack in front of you, the board can often fall in your favour. The Kh-4c-2s Flop didn't too anything to dispel that mythical theory, and when the Turn and River came 7 of hearts and 9 of hearts respectively, Rudling was gone.

Dan Samson is OUT and becomes the 3rd place finisher winning £50,880

Crikey O'Reilly, we've more action here than a night out on the town with the Beagle, the latest player to feel the wrath of the Kettle being plucky Dan Samson who did marvellously well to finish in 3rd place for a highly commendable £50,800.

Once again, Ketul required some assistance from the board, but unlike before, this was a classic coinflip situation, Ketul's looking to pair up against Dan's .

As the board was dealt, Dan looked on intently, perhaps thinking what I have written in brackets...

(okay card)

(good card)

(another okay card)

(excellent card!!!)

(Just one more to survive. Come one...)

(Barf!)

In the end, it was Samson who was left steaming.

[snoopy1239]

Ketul Nathwani -- 3.8 million
Tony Phillips -- 470k

[snoopy1239]

Ketul Nathwani has made it clear throughout this entire final table that he is not interested in any deals, and he has stayed true to his word.

[danafish]

...And that's it!

Tony moves in, and Ketul dwells a little before making the call.

Ketul -
Tony -

Board -

Which means that Tony Phillips is OUT in 2nd place winning £69,960...

...Thus necessarily Ketul Nathwani is the ULTIMATE WINNER!!! of the 2008 Bluesquare.com London GUKPT, winning £119,780!

Hopefully a few photos to follow...
