On the outer table, Soenke Jahn shoved early on to steal the blinds and antes. He then faced a raise to 6.5M by Christoffer Stahle and moved in for 36.7M from two seats over. Stahle asked for a count but ultimately folded.
Katie Swift had started well at the feature table by winning the first two hands. First off she came over the top of Stephen Chidwick's button raise and took down the pot - showing aces in the process - and afterward, she got through with a button raise of her own.
Most recent she won a pot off Chidwick when he completed from the small blind and Swift checked her option in the big blind. The flop came , and Chidwick check-called 3 million. The same thing happened on the turn, this time for 5.7 million before Chidwick respected the third bullet of 12.5 million on the river and folded.
What a drama over on the feature table. Ben Jackson had moved all in for 38.2M from the cutoff and Katie Swift didn't realize that, and intended to raise to 8.5M out of the small blind. Swift then asked for the amount of the shove and called the all in of Jackson before Maria Lampropulos in the big blind re-shoved.
The all-in of Jackson was pulled in and Lampropoulos was all in for another 41.725M on top, which Swift then reluctantly called as well.
Ben Jackson:
Maria Lampropulos:
Katie Swift:
After a board of , Jackson was eliminated in 13th place for £35,000 and Swift took a big hit to her stack, while Lampropulos took down a huge pot and it clearly meant a lot to her as it was passed across the feature table.
Jacob Mulhern made it 6 million to go from first position, and Christoffer Stahle moved all-in for 72,350,000 right behind him. Mateusz Rypulak woke up with in the big blind and moved in over the top, and Mulhern quickly wanted out.
Stahle and his were trailing badly, but the flop brought some hope for the Swede. The on the turn was no help, neither was the on the river, and Stahle headed for the cashier as the 12th place finisher.
Only seconds after the elimination of Christoffer Stahle chips were shifting hands on the feature table. Jon Spinks moved all in for 53,700,000 and Tom Hall made the call out of the small blind. With Spinks holding and Hall holding , it was a classic coin flip, but the percentages shifted heavily for Spinks as the flop came .
The on the turn offered some hope for Hall, but the river wasn't it for "Jabracada", and Spinks got the massive double leaving Hall with only 550,000.
With 300,000 of them posted in an ante, Hall got his money in the very next hand. Chidwick made it 6 million under the gun, Hall committed his remaining chips, and Neel Murthy called in the small blind. Jon Spinks in the big blind squeezed it up to 24,5 million which was enough to get Chidwick and Murthy to fold.
Ultimately Tom Hall's didn't get there against the of Spinks, and Tom Hall was eliminated in 11th place - good for a £35,000 cash.
