18:45: Boaby makes the call! He has AQ. Richard says "Good call" and shows A5. The river is a brick and Richard is out in 12th for £610.

18:44: Richard just shoved 286k over the top of Boaby's 75k turn bet. Board is 9c6h5h-Qd. Didn't catch the prior action. Boaby in the tank.

18:32: Alan "The Rat Man" Rennie out in 13th! Taken out by Craig Smith. Alan takes home £530. Craig now has around 1.1 million. We just have 4.75 million in play in total.

18:30: A couple of the biggest stacks:

18:25: Still 13 left here. Next out gets £530.

18:21: Just overheard Steven T say "You could have any two cards right here. You've got the widest range of anyone on the table" to Charlie Cheung. Charlie just said "Pardon?" and looked confused.

18:13: Double up for Craig Smith vs Alan Rennie. Craig now has about 700k and a big hit for Alan.

18:15: Steven Gray takes out 2 short stacks in the same hand. It was AA vs A9 vs T8. Jonny Gray 15th for £460 and Keith Christie 14th for £530.

18:08: Richard G opens to 25k in the cutoff. Jonny Gray shoves all in from the BB. Richard snap calls (he had 210k total) with 99. Jonny had AT. The flop came down Ace High and Richard was on his way with a shake of the head. That was until the Riviera brough a Nine for his set.
