Terry Cook - 19th
***Huge Hand Alert***
The preflop action saw Matthew McCullough raising to 22k, and button Terry Cook moving in for 147k. So far, pretty standard. Then small blind James Keys suddenly moved in over the top, for a whole lot more. Back to McCullough, and he called all-in (Keys had him covered by a stack of red 5k chips). The rail held its breath...

Flop: Double slap for the Kings, Keys shaking his head
Turn: "Ten!" request the James Keys fan club
River:
And Terry Cook is eliminated bringing our total number of players remaining in the Main Event of the WSOPE to 18.

Being up here on the balcony, there are always going to be a few annoyances, many of which come from the rail who consider the blogging team to be a source of info from "Can I check my facebook on your computer?" and "Is he famous?" (pointing at Doyle Brunson) to more geographical questions such as "Where is the nearest Tube station?" and "Do you know how to get to London Bridge?".
However, the most annoying thing is not the rail, but in fact the fruit machine by our station which has The Bangles' 'Walk Like an Egyption' continuously playing on a loop. If I had an 'eternal flame' I'd set fire to the flippin fruity in a flash.

His final hand: , taken on by Gus Hansen with his .
