The Last FTP Ambassador Falls

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Dermot Blain
Dermot Blain

On Day 1a, Full Tilt Poker Ambassadors Martins Adeniya and Ben Jenkins fell. Today, the other two ambassadors — Dermot Blain and Sinem Melin — took their shot at poker glory.

Melin feel quite early here on Day 1b, which meant Blain was the last FTP Ambassador standing. Blain, who finished third in the High Roller yesterday, gave it his best, but he has fallen in the last level of the night.

It happened when he pushed his short stack of 4,700 in from middle position and received a call from the player in the hijack. Luke Grant then three-bet to 13,300 from the small blind and forced the hijack out of the hand.

Grant: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Blain: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Blain seemed to know his time was up, and sure enough the board ran out {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} to send the Irishman to the rail
