Danny pushed for 10k and got the call from Chris. Danny with KK against QT. Danny flopped his set, Chris turned his straight, no boats on the river. Community cards: A K 4 J Q.

Next to get it all in against Chris was Todd, he pushed all in for 32k. Todd with A5 vs A9. The flop J 3 3, the turn paired Todd, the river out paired Todd with a 9. A 3 3 5 9.

Chris raised UTG to 18k, Harry called shy of the full amount. 8T up against 44. A ten in the window left Harry in need of a 4... No such 4 arrived.. J T 3 9 8, Chris winning with two pair, Harry taking 3rd.

Greg and Chris played it out heads up. Chris had a chip lead of around 40:1, despite this, some surprisingly chaotic hands:

Greg was all but all in on the BB 6/8k chips. Chris Pushed him all in for his last chips, Chris with J5, Greg holding 98. Greg flopped a pair on the flop, rivered two pair and finally flopped a boat on the 7 Q 9 8 9 board.

the next action we had was Greg pushing on the SB with K2, called by Chris with 44. 3 A K T 2 gave Greg two pair and around 30k chips.

Chris pushed, Greg calls, A3 vs KQ. The flop gave Chris an open ender, the turn a seven high straight, the river an 8 high straight (Counterfeit split). 4 5 7 6 8.

Greg pushed into Chris with 95, some time passed, Chris made a loose call with KK. T J 2 K 6, dead on the turn.

Well done to Chris on a dominating the tournament, also to Greg for staying in the chase until the end!
