Lady overboard I'm afraid, @IrishRose just ran 10-10 into K-K & has sadly departed. She was 17th which was worth a very handy £880 in lovely crisp pound notes.
Ionut looks very competent indeed, & is giving the other 3 some gip, relentlessly 3 betting. It's handcuffing @Vertigo a bit at the moment as he is to Ionut's immediate right.
Ionut & Danny see the flop of J-9-4, Danny bets & Ionut does his 3 bet thing again. It's all-in to Danny, & he goes into the tank for fully 10 minutes. Danny's problem is ICM, as Mr Mcmurray has less than half a mill.
Eventually - & it was fully 10 minutes, maybe 15 - Danny calls all-in.
He shows J-9 for top two, Ionut has K-10, but the Queen remains elusive & & suddenly we have a new chip leader.

@Essexphil has the Aces, Danny Chapman 9-9.
...and so that means @Essexphil busts in unfortunate fashion.
9th: Oliver Board £1,810
8th: James Platt £2,280
7th: Lin Fanning £2,880
6th: Elliott Miller £3,560
5th @Essexphil £4,235
OUCH !
Very, Very Unlucky Phil ......but very WELL PLAYED mateHope to catch up with you next Year at the Brighton SPT
Seat 4, William Mcmurray, is the shortie with around 550,000. Sounds a lot but blinds are 25,000-50,000/50,000.
The other 3 all have a milly plus, with Ionut (seat 2) the big chippie.
Mr Mcmurray gets a very welcome 2XUp which gets him (just) into 7 figures.
Approx chip counts;
Ionut 3 milly
William 1 milly
Danny 2.7 milly
@Vertigo 1.5 milly.
There are 8.26 million chips in play so those numbers just about stack up.
Ionut looks very competent indeed, & is giving the other 3 some gip, relentlessly 3 betting. It's handcuffing @Vertigo a bit at the moment as he is to Ionut's immediate right.
Here's what they are playing for...
Players are on break now, the chips are being coloured up, the shrapnel removed & the 100,000's introduced.
Exact chip counts;
Blinds? Upon resumption they will go 30,000-60,000/60,000.
That's 150,000 per orbit, or 37,500 per hand, so William (665,000) is still in ICU.
Play just about to resume;
Ionut is a beast, he just 3 bet Danny who eventually folded. Ionut showed 7-3. Suited, though.
Ionut & Danny see the flop of J-9-4, Danny bets & Ionut does his 3 bet thing again. It's all-in to Danny, & he goes into the tank for fully 10 minutes. Danny's problem is ICM, as Mr Mcmurray has less than half a mill.
Eventually - & it was fully 10 minutes, maybe 15 - Danny calls all-in.
He shows J-9 for top two, Ionut has K-10, but the Queen remains elusive & & suddenly we have a new chip leader.
Then we see this extraordinary hand between Mr Mcmurray, the shortie & Danny, the new chippie.
Mr M is in a world of hurt before we even see the flop, as his K-6 is in super bad shape v Danny's Aces.
It gets even worse when the door card is an Ace giving Danny top set. But wait....
