[NoflopsHomer]

On the river of a board, Ganesh bets 70k, Ian shakes his head, but then calls. Ganesh mucks. Ian shows ...

[NoflopsHomer]

Ganesh -- 800k
Ian -- 760k
James -- 350k

[NoflopsHomer]

Last hand of the level and James moves in from the button. Ganesh almost calls, but thinks better. Ian also folds.

We're now on another 20 minute break after which the blinds will be 20k/40k/2k

[NoflopsHomer]

Ganesh -- 844k
Ian -- 820k
James -- 230k

[NoflopsHomer]

James gets a walk first hand in the big blind. To his despair he shows Kings...

[NoflopsHomer]

...And we're heads up!

Ian makes it 130k from the small blind, and James in the big blind shoves for 290k total. Ian dwells up. Says James, "What you got then?" Sighs Ian, "Rubbish. Absolute rubbish." Ian dwells a bit longer, then announces, "I apologise for the filth you're about to see," and calls.

James -
Ian -

Board -

And thus James Akenhead finishes in 3rd place winning £23,625.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ian and Ganesh have chopped the money and are just playing for the title and the seat.

[NoflopsHomer]

An obviously disappointed James Akenhead leaves in 3rd.



HU Action with the Bluesquare paperweight trophy present.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ganesh has evened up the stacks.

First, he limps and then calls Ian's BB raise. Ian checks to him on the flop and Ganesh bets 100k. "Nice bluff," says Ian, and folds.

Next hand, they see an unraised flop - they both check.

The turn is the and Ganesh bets 50k. Ian calls.

River - - and Ganesh checks. Ian bets 120k, and with a little heswitation, Ganesh calls. Ian just mucks before Ganesh even turns over his - I believe a straight draw that missed...

[NoflopsHomer]

...And indeed Ganesh is now ahead.

He makes it 100k preflop and Ian calls. When Ian leads out 200k on the flop, Ganesh announces all in. Ian passes, and is now a little short...

[NoflopsHomer]

Ian isn't out of this yet. Ganesh limps and Ian moves in. Ganesh folds quickly and Ian shows ...

[NoflopsHomer]

They see a flop; they check it.

Turn - - and Ian bets 60k. Ganesh pauses, and calls.

River - - and they both check it.

Most timid call-age/checkage from Ganesh imo - he turns over and Ian mucks.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ian limps and Ganesh checks.



Ganesh bets 100k, Ian raises to 300k. Ganesh looks pained. Stands up. Then says he's all-in. Now Ian looks pained and says, "This is a bad call..." It's a bizarre statement when he shows to Ganesh's .



Gives Garnesh a few split outs.



The Jack plays and in an oddly muted and slightly confused way, Ian doubles up. No doubt, he's not use to playing live, and even says, "I was sure you had two pair!" but he's probably got a 2-1 chip lead now.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ian moves in from the small blind, Ganesh insta-calls.

Ian:

Ganesh:



Ganesh doubles back up to 690k.



They're both still here, and so are we.

[NoflopsHomer]

Check check.



Ganesh bets 70k. Ian calls.



Ganesh thinks for ages before checking. Ian instantly moves in and Ganesh folds. Ian shows .

Ganesh -- 700k
Ian -- 1.2 million
