Chip leader bullying
Maria Demetriou makes a standard raise to about 10,000 in early position and Spencer Lawrence in the cut off says "well it worked last time" before throwing in 10 pink chips (50,000 total) which just covers Maria's stack. She gives up the pot after a couple of seconds consideration.

Out of Key?
C. Young raised to 13k from early position and was called by Ozzy Izuogu in middle position and James Keys in the small blind. The flop came 4 7 3. Keys checked and Young continued for 20k. Izuogu fold and Keys went into the tank. He asked for a count of Young's remaining chips (13k) and asked Young if he wanted the call. An impassive Young told him to put his chips in if he wanted to find out. After a much deliberating and riffling of chips, Keys folded J J face up. An astonished Young tabled A K and raked the pot. Some might argue that if you're going to fold jacks against a short-stack on a seven-high flop, you may as well not play them in the first place.

Ozzy Out
On a flop of 7 T 9 Graham Clarkson moves in on Ozzy Izuogu. Izuogu stands for a minute before calling off his last 25,000 or so and showing A J which is well behind Clarkson's Q T The 4 and 6 change nothing and Ozzy is gone.

That's a wrap
Richard Howe raised to 7500 in the cut-off and Oliver Stone moved all-in for a further 5200 in the small blind. The call was obligatory. A 5 for Howe, 9 9 for Stone. Stone did not have to wait long to know his fate as the first card out was A. The rest of the board read Q 3 K K and Stone left the room.

Ngo out
Billy Ngo has been eliminated from the tournament.

He got his all his chips (around 21k) in pre-flop with 9 8 and was called by Steve Milton's AK.

Anthony Chapman ponders a call but then folds his Jacks face up.

Both players make a pair on the flop but Ngo's lower pair does not improve on the turn and river. He is knocked out.

Final board.

Byrom changes gears on Clarkson
Gordon McArthur raised to 8.5k from the cut-off and Graham Clarkson reraised an additional 20k on the button. Big blind Daniel Byrom moved all-in for a further 35k and McArthur got out of the way. Clarkson shrugged and made the call. It was a race: T T for Clarkson and A K for Byrom. The first card out was K and that proved enough for Byrom as the rest of the board ran out 6 4 8 5.

Level Up
Players are back from their break and blinds are now 2000/4000 with a 400 ante.

That's Howe Two Do It
With the blinds at 2k/4k, James O'Connell moved all-in for 51k under the gun. Richard Howe called in middle position and Donovan Burton called for his remaining 31k on the button. 8 8 for O'Connell, A A for Howe, K K for Burton. The board ran out 7 6 4 9 9 and Howe bagged two kills.
