Mather14 was getting very short, & was BB to the SB of AlanCarr12.
Alan made up & Mather decided this was his spot, & pushed all in for about 45,000 (less than 8 Bigs).
Alan called pretty quickly, with the A-2, & Mather was in trouble with 8-10. It ran out completely blank, so we lost Mather in 7th place & he collected $2,200.
Comments
Meanwhile, it's Sunday night on the strip, so it's totally rammed.
Even crossing the road is a nightmare, it's 12 lanes wide & you really can't chance trying to cross the road without waiting for the little green man.
Here they all are waiting for the green light;
Then, once the get the go sign, off they all go;
Meanwhile, back inside, we are down to just 14.
We could have a final table by 9.15pm at this rate.
Thoich gets his last 25,000 in with the Aces & 24caliber, who covers him easily takes him on with 10-10.
Flop 5-10-7, & that's nighty night for poor Thoich.
13 left.
11 left, so that means it's the Final Table bubble.
Alvez busts in a real nasty one, playing some 70,000 his Q-Q is turned over, remarkably, by A-2.
They are now re-setting the tables to prepare for the Final, so a short break.
Will try & get names & chip counts before the restart.
24caliber 190,000
NE2 180,000
AlanCarr12 90,000
Mather14 40,000
TimmyRaRa 60,000
Play4Food 65,000
Granite89 - 140,000
Pat041279 - 2,400
GSmith13 - 60,000
Gambelo 140,000
Inevitably, the super short stacked Pat041279 - who got here via Prize Draw - was the first to exit in 10th place.
No money for 10th, but Sky Poker have generously given him a £220 seat to SPT Brighton.
Nice one Sky.
This is NE2.
If he does not win "Best Haircut" there's no justice.
How good does he look?
GSmith opens, & AlanCarr12 sets him all in.
GSmith = A-Q
AlanCarr = 6-6
The Q flops so GSmith survives & gets a full double up.
The short stacked Mather14 finds the Kings & Granite89, having opened, makes the easy call with Q-J suited.
A drama free 8 high board is just the job for a Mather14 2XUp.
TimmyRara, desperately short, ships it with 8-8, & gets looked up in 2 spots - A-9 & A-10.
Could be worse, but he fails to hold & he exits in 9th place for $1,500.
Gambelo (A-Q) makes his move & Play4Food looks him up with the A-K.
The 9-10-J flop is pretty interesting, but it blanks out & we lose Gambelo in 8th, & he collects $1,800.
7 left.
A short break whilst they colour up the 100 denom chip, then Level 15 will start, 3,000-6,000/500.

NE2 was next, making his play with A-8 suited, but 24Caliber was never folding A-10 in this spot, & again, it ran out blank, no fuss, no dramas.
NE2 - a smashing lad - collected $2,600 in 6th place.
End of Level 15, so a 10 minute break.
Play will resume at 4,000-8,000/500, meaning the average must be around 23 bigs.
