Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Feature Table

Over on the feature table, James Williams raised to 90,000 with the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and was three-bet by Christos Xanthopoulos in the big blind, who made it 325,000 with the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Williams called and the flop came {K-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, a bet of 175,000 by Xanthopoulos ended the hand right there.

Outer Table

Antonios Onoufriou open-shoved the button and [Removed:208] asked for a count. Once it was deemed to be for 570,000 total, Dacic called.

Antonios Onoufriou: {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
[Removed:208]: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

The board of {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{A-Clubs} left Onoufriou drawing dead and he had to settle for £9,000. There are now 10 players remaining on two five-handed tables and they will combine to one table after the next player has been eliminated.

Moments after the all in showdown on the feature table, Christopher Kyriacou ended up all in and at risk out of the small blind. [Removed:208] looked him up from the big blind and once again, pocket eights played a crucial role.

Christopher Kyriacou: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
[Removed:208]: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The board came {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Dacic turned a set to send Kyriacou to the rail in 12th place for £9,000.
