18:54: Blinds up!
18:50: Mohamed Rauf's wife was a bit unhappy he hasn't been featured too heavily on the blog so far and texted him saying she can only see his back! Here's a copy of the message and a nice picture of him to make up for it:

18:44: Chico opens for 20.5k, Penny calls from the small blind and Stephen folds from the big blind. Heads up. 9s8d2h on the Flop and Penny open shoves 141k into the approx 58k pot and Chico calls. He shows QQ and Penny has QJ. She's in bad shape but can still win with a Ten. It doesn't come and sadly we now have an all male tournament. 19 players left.
18:42: Stephen Ng opens to 20k UTG, Chico calls in position as does Penny from the bb. 3 to the flop which is Jc4s2d. Penny checks, Stephen bets 27k and both opponents fold.
18:41: Shahid Mahmood out. 20 left.
18:40: Our remaining 3 tables:
18:37: Chris wins their next scuffle. Didn't catch the whole hand but Chris was dragging a 200k plus pot on the River with A4 two pair vs Chico.
18:32: Chris Thomson opens for 20.5k and Chico calls from the big blind. Flop KhTc6s which is checked around. Turn 3h and Chico leads for 26.5k. Chris raises to 55k total. Chico is our chip leader with over 1million chips but Chris also has close to 600k (60bb). Chico calls. River 2c and Chico takes the initiative and bets 61k. Chris says "I've got top pair and I can't even call you." He folds and Chico shows a Jack.
18:31: Barry McQueen ships from the cut-off for 143k and takes down the blinds.
18:30: Conor Ogg moved to our feature table.
18:28: Tom Johnston out. He shoved all in with QhTh and Penny Malik reshoved with 88. Her pocked pair held and Tom was eliminated. Down to 21.
18:27: Stephen Ng doubled up his 70k stack shortly after the break.
18:24: Ewan Brown reports "And out. Lost a flip, AT<88. No double this time." - his chance of back to back Scottish 25/25 titles is extinguished.
18:23: Lost Ewan Brown and Cameron Alavizadeh. Now at 22.
