Dave Smith is OUT and becomes the 6th place finisher winning £2,335

All-in pre-flop.

Dave Smith =

Chris Bruce =

Board = two spades three diamonds

According to Dingdell, Chris Bruce had to ask his neighbour to move down because he now has too many chips.

If Brucie plays his cards right, he can win this one.

Clash of the enormo-stacks...

Small blind Chris Bruce makes it 40k, and big blind Garinder Purewal calls.

They see an flop and Chris checks - Garinder makes it 50k and Chris calls. They both check the turn, and Chris checks the river too, but Garinder bets out. Chris calls, and announces Ace-high (I think with a Jack). Garinder however takes it with A-7, sneakily hit on the river.

Players are now on a short break.

Action has been a little sloooow on our final table. At the end of one blind-on-blind confrontation (have been quite a few of those), which terminated with Kevin Lund making a bet in position on the turn after he and Chris Bruce checked the flop, Mr Lund commented, "Whoever bets first..." Indeed.

The most exciting moment I witnessed was when Kevin limped utg - it was commented on that may have been the first flat call since they went into the final table... Anyway, it got everyone in the mood, and Chris Bruce also limped from the button, Garinder made up the blind, and big blind Alan Stearn didn't spoil the party by raising or anything and merely checked. The flop was checked around to Chris, who bet a not-very-big 40k. Garinder and Alan folded. "Do you want me to call?" asked Kevin. "Did you limp in with Aces and hit a set again?" counters Chris. Kevin passes.

Garinder Purewal is OUT and becomes the 5th place finisher winning £3,373

As predicted, Garinder pushed all-in the very next hand, but showed an Ace after Alan Stearn conceded 7-4 from the blind. The following hand, however, Stearn had no intentions of folding, finding A-K with Garinder once again pushing before him. Garinder showed A-7, but a King on the Turn sealed the deal and left a bemused youngster wondering how he failed to better his 5th place showing from last month. Still, like Pete Linton, he's proved to be a real chip getter with plenty of game, so ought to be one to keep a close eye on.

And it's all over!

Alan Stearn is on the button and he tries to check. He is not allowed to do so. There is much hilarity. Meanwhile Kevin is murmuring something about a chop. The hand continues but nobody seems massively interested any more...

...And indeed they do chop it. It's decided that they'll each get 4th place money and the rest will be decided on chip count.

So, in official terms I suppose,

Alan Stearn finished in 4th place with 380,500 chips, winning £8,699,

Kevin Lund finished in 3rd place with 435,500 chips, winning £9,326,

Chris Bruce finished in 2nd place with 451,000 chips, winning £9,503,

and the technical WINNER!!! of this month's DTD £300 Main Event is Daniel Byron with 453,000, winning £9,526!!!


And I think £400 or so for the excellent dealers.

We think. Anyway, as you can see, there wasn't much in it, so congrats all, especially Mr Chris Bruce because he's just bought me a large bourbon (impartial reporting, this), many many thanks to the awesome folks at the totally awesome DTD, and goodnight. Barring photos in a sec...
