As pandemonium gently breaks out over the New Table Draw currently underway, the final hand sees a big pot develop after Jesper Hougaard raised to 8,000 on the button, small blind Joseph El-Shater called and then Andy Bloch reraised to 20,000 even. Hougaard was clearly not interested, but El-Shater debated internally for a while, one finger restlessly tapping some kind of card Morse until deciding to make the call.

The flop: {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

El-Shater moved all in, called immediately by Bloch with his {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

. El-Shater's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

was drawing dead after the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

turn and he drops to under 30,000 while Andy Bloch continues his late-stage chip rise.
