Now that Dinh Doat has become our new chipleader and back to his rightful position in the cosmos, we are playing hand for hand ’til the final 9.

10 left : ave. chips 301k : Dinh Doat Le has 460k

Calamity for Jerome Bradpiece.  He decides to move OTT of Dinh’s button raise all-in.  “You got AK? Call!”

Jerome has AQ and Dinh Doat JJ’s

JACK-ON-THE-FLOP “yesss!”   Queen on the turn.  JACK-ON-THE-RIVER

Jerome finishes in 11th for £6,000

11 players left. Will we get down to the final table during the final level of the day?

11 players left : 273,600 ave. chips

He elects to go all-in on a Jack high flop holding pocket 77’s but unfortunate to run into Joe Grech’s AJ

He takes home £3,000 for 12th

He takes an age to do it but Jerome Bradpiece decides to set Mr. Le all-in on a ATJ flop holding KT with an immediate “call” from Le holding AQ.

Unlucky for Mark as his AK gets cracked by Alan Trueick’s AdQd.  All-in preflop then Alan picks up a flush draw on the turn and then hits a queen on the river.

Mark gets £3,000 for 13th

He’s been making tactical over-the-top picking his spots moves and quietly dominating his table.  This time he raises first with Aaron Barry coming in for an extra 75k.  James elects to call with his QT off-suit.  Not a bad call in the end as it’s 3-2 shot.  Aaron has A5.  The Ace counts as KK’s and 44’s come on the board and a tasty double up for him.  James still with 200k plus.  The average chips is currently 230k ish.

He’s been firing blanks for some time and decides to make a move.  He’s only seen one card and pushes UTG for 62k.  He gets looked up by Sunny who’s holding 77’s.  Farhad turns over AT.  A huge cheer…well, not huge, but vocal..from the railbird Hitsquad supporters as another 7 arrives on the turn and Farhad dead in the water.

He takes home £2,250 and the money goes up
