25/25 Series Merchant City - Day 2 - Level 16 (4000/8000/800)

16:49: Blinds up.

16:45: Cancel the break! We lost Kasim Khan in 23rd so are now on the bubble and will continue hand for hand until we get into the money.

16:39: Now 24 remaining. 2 spots til the money. Break coming up in 7 minutes so we may not get there before the end of Level 16.

16:37: Earlier big stack Brian O'Connor now a goner! James McLean out quite a bit earlier on but missed it at the time.

16:27: Here are most of our remaining 26 players spread over 3 tables:

16:20: 26 left now. 4 spots till the money.

16:19: Double up for GK. He started off as chip leader today but suffered a few setbacks so he needed this double with A4 vs KQ all in preflop.

16:16: Here is the trophy they are all aiming to take home today. It means more than the £12k. Ok, maybe not but it's still pretty nice.

16:09: Barry McQueen from Fife out.

16:08: Now at 27 and going to 3 tables.

16:06: 28 left now. One more to go and we break to 3 tables. No money till 22nd place though and that's £400. The winner tonight will earn £12,000.

16:04: Big one for Paul "Black Flash" Gupta there. He was all in for about 170k preflop with A8 vs Andy Lee's 77. He spiked an Ace on the River to stay alive. He  celebrated with an air punch afterwards.
