A cooler hand sees Craig Cummings cripple Melissa’s dominating chip lead. She can’t get away from a rivered straight, which made a full house for Craig.
In a shock turn of events, Melissa who was the table chip leader is eliminated in 6th place after A10 can’t improve against 99. We were so excited to be railing our first potential female winner.
John Garratt doubles up to 3.5M through Mark McCluskey. Both players flop two pair and all the money goes in. The chips are really making their way around the table.
