  on the turn doubles Wootton up

"You call with that?" says the Mansfield restaurant supremo

Andy King has knocked out Tommy Bingham. Both quite short, they raced 8-8 v K-J. The pair held for King

----


King then got into ma big pot with Anon 2, the voluble chap who won the deepstack 19 months ago alongside Anon 1 in that memorable update when I couldn't tell you a thing of any use on the final table. Happy days

He bet 11,000 into a 15,000 pot on the river of a  board

Anon 2 had the clock called on him, and folded with chagrin, only to be shown  for sweet FA to the approval of others at King's table
