Down to 11 now, & it will be a 9 seat Final Table.
Blinds are an eye-watering 12,000-24,000/24,000, so it costs 60,000 to go through the blinds & they are playing 5 handed on one table & 6 handed on the other. Ouch.
Back home now after another great SPT. Very happy to have made the money. Even happier to have met so many fellow Sky players and staff. Many thanks to all.
Just seen the biggest pot of the Tourney, & maybe a contender for the SPT BBOTY (Bad Beat Of The Year).
Benjamin Levi, seat 1 on Groggs table, jammed for an absolute mountains of chips (700,000 maybe) & ran smack bang into the Aces of the elderly gentleman in the Derby County shirt.
The board ran out 3-4-J-5-J for a real crash-bang wallop affair.

What a beat, yikes.

Horrible for Vittorio
But on the plus side i’m sure he’ll be delighted that he was referred to as the elderly gentleman
Home after a brilliant weekend, yet again the SPT was a blast. Was so nice meeting up with everyone again. Thanks to everyone who made my weekend fun. Rose hasn't made it home yet, so am ringing her to keep her updated. Loads of traffic apparently so not a clue what time she will get home.

Groggs had a series of mishaps, was down to 4 bigs, went on a spin up & is now well over average again. Amazing stuff.
craig & @StayOrGo went to war, 7-7 v A-x (2 overs, a flip). No idea who had what, but Craig is now busto.
Ambo went card-dead & was next to exit.

Average stack is around 20 bigs.
In the background, you can just see Groggs & Sidv79, & behind them, Sky James on guard duty.
StayOrGo, with around 800,000, must be close to chip leader.

Oops.
FINAL
PS - who thinks "bear with me" really should be spelt "bare with me"? (They are wrong).
Names & chip counts in seat order;
Seat 1 Maz Izet 320,000
Seat 2 David Dyson 1,200,000
Seat 3 Andy Shotton 300,000
Seat 4 Danny Grogan 300,000
Seat 5 Jean Lauillier 600,000
Seat 6 Benjamin Levi 1,100,000
Seat 7 Graham Carter 800,000
Seat 8 Logan Corey 850,000
Seat 9 Ip Chun Fui 600,000
Have just discovered that Seat 8, Logan Corey, is miniman88
Seat 6 (Benjamin Levi) is A-2 man.
Seat 5, Jean Lauillier, is SPH (Splendid Hair Bloke).
Action from the get go, as Groggy jams for his ~ 300,000 (10 bigs) & SPH looks him up with A-9.
The board runs out dry & higgelty piggelty, & we lose Groggs in 9th place.
9th; Danny Grogan, £1,250
