Short-stacked young Lady moves in for 80,000 (10 BB) & James Gavaghan makes the call.
Young Lady shows Ah-4h, James has J-J. Bit of a cranky runout, & by the river James had to AVOID hitting a set, but he faded it - just - as a Q rivered.
Gentleman who just exited, shaking his head in a "how did that happen?" way, had 800,000 an hour ago, but subsequently kept getting the wrong side of flips. A feeling we all know only too well.

Gareth Smith seems to have around 350,000.
Neil Channing moves all-in for 107,000 & gets looked up.
Neil has J-J, oppo has 5-5, & it runs out clean, with a rivered Jack for good measure.
How do these guys run so good?

James up to around 600,000, & 20 players remain.
Sadly not, she departed very early. She predicted her demise would be at 2.22pm, but I think she was comfortably ahead of schedule.
Not a disaster though, I think she's playing a Redtooth Vegas Final tonight. And she got my £330 Bounty yesterday.
"GIVE ME AN ACE" he pleads to no avail, but he got there anyway.
Play seems to have slowed to a crawl.
20 left, blinds are 10,000/5,000-10,000 & the average stack is around 30 BB.
Bad news, 19 left & the bustee was Joshua Jones, "one of ours" who ran 2nd in this last year.
Speed of play is not helped by there being 19 left on 3 tables (6, 6, 7) so once we lose another they go to 2 tables which may speed things up.
People are not dwelling or tanking un-necessarily, it's just card distribution really.
Bad news, we have lost Mr Channing, so down to 18, & they'll break to 2 tables now.
Players are on a break.
Think there are 4 Sky Poker crew remaining, Aaron Abell, Gareth Smith, Curt Livermore & of course James Gavaghan.
Play has resumptified.
I missed the action, but we have lost another player so are down to 17. Minimum cash is now £810.

Correction, 14 left, I must have missed an exit.
