The game has gone exceptionally slow. They are playing their hands but - as yet - nobody is trying to dominate or push the others around, it's all very A-B-C. Could be a longggggg night.
Suddenly, all 4 players ask if they can take a "toilet break", which is granted.
Clearly, this is code for "we want to discuss a deal".
And, sure enough, seconds later, they ask the TD if he will help them do the ICM calculations.
After the usual waffle back & forth, they'll probably cut a deal, but leave something to play for the trophy & an odd few grand. Which past experience suggests may well take several hours.

Bad news I'm afraid, @loololollo was desperately short & made his move with 9h-8h, but got looked up by A-Q & got no help.
9th; Dan Lammin £2,190
8th; Simon Dean £3,495
7th; Oscar Tompsett £3,980
6th Michael Nichols £4,970
Another casualty, Thomas Lyford was short, & made his move with A-Q, was looked up by 3-3, the flop was a horrible 5-5-3.
Thomas is @GunRood1 on Sky Poker. He qualified for £3, & won £5,965, & this was his first ever SPT. Lovely job.

We shall see.
With nobody dominating or gambling, a bit of business makes perfect sense.
