13:56: John Angus, Jake Hughes and Richard Love in prayer on Table 1:

13:52: Joan Lawley out! Ali Cicfti raised (AdTd), James Grieve 3bet from the cut-off (didn't find out what he had) and Joan Lawley called on the button (Qs4s). Ali called as well and we saw the AsKc8s flop. Ali open-shoved all in, James folded and Joan called with a smaller stack than Ali. No Spade came and Joan was sent packing.

13:44: Key Tak Cheung out.
