21:19: Alex Ferguson finally rounded up 10 people to take part in his £30 flip at the break. Bit of controversy however, as the event blogger (yes, me) took it down! I'll have to use the £220 seat for the next leg! 2nd and 3rd places got £40 each. The run out was a major sweat for Stevie Gray as he has the Nut Straight (76) with 1 card left to come but my 53 (2 pair) made a full house in the end! Easy money.
