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.

------------

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

...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...

A last few pictures for your enjoyment folks.

First off we have Ketul and Phillips shaking hands as they prepare to do battle.



And with Ketul victorious, here he is, with runner up finisher Tony Phillips.



Ketul was asked how he intends to spend next year. "Probably win a few bracelets" was the confident reply from the newly crowned GUKPT champion, and with the accomplished way he played through the tournament, he might just do it.

I'll leave you with a final shot of Ketul Nathwani, the London GUKPT Champion, celebrating his victory in style by french kissing his new trophy. Very well played sir!

Ok, that's it!

What a great tournament, exciting througout, with twists and turns aplenty ultimately resulting in a new GUKPT champ being crowned.

Well done to Maria for a great 5th position, and also Jen, who came so close, knocked out just before the final table.

We've had great fun. Thanks very much to the Grosvenor for looking after us so well and providing us with a bottomless pit of sandwiches. They were much appreciated.

That's it though for now. We're off to have a well earned drink or two...thanks for joining us.

Don't forget to watch out for Jen and Noflops bringing you reports from the EPT Warsaw soon, which should be a cracker but for now...
