Both players agreed on the chip chop and will be playing for £3,000 and the trophy. Below are the amounts that they are guaranteed so far:
Joe Johnson: £56,912
Enzo Del Piero: £56,678
Game has just recommenced and the rail of Johnson immediately ordered plenty of drinks to keep them (even more) entertained.
Level: 28
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 10,000
The two remaining players are separated by less than a big blind for the upcoming level and are currently looking into a chip chop deal that would leave money and the trophy on the side.
The last few hands of the level went to Joe Johnson and he managed to jump back into the lead. At the end of the level, both players were informed that the event moves back to the Lounge that featured the action last night. Back in a bit!

flop, Johnson check-called a bet worth 185,000 and the duo checked the 
turn. The river saw Johnson bet 310,000 and Del Piero tossed in a single chip for the call. Johnson turned over 
for a straight and scooped back the previous losses.

turn he called a bet of 150,000 by Del Piero and did so again for 230,000 on the river. Del Piero tapped the table in defeat and mucked his cards to find himself on a 1-4 chip disadvantage.

Harry Lodge eventually got chipped down all the way to 550,000 and open-shoved the small blind. Enzo Del Piero peeked at his cards and called to put Lodge at risk in a battle of the two shorter stacks.
Harry Lodge: 
Enzo Del Piero: 
The 
flop was almost as bad as it could get for Lodge, but he picked up some outs on the turn. The 
river initially let Joe Johnson's rail gasp, but then they saw the flush for Del Piero as well. Lodge was eliminated in 3rd place for £36,150 and the event is now heads up with a 2-1 lead for Johnson.
