18:36: John McGlynn all in next hand with 7h5h vs Ronnie's AT and doesn't get there. Bubble burst! The crowd goes wild. Players on a 15 minute break.

18:35: The hand between John (KcKd) and Ronnie (AsKh) was a funny one. Ronnie thought John was all in when he put in about 140k and turned over his hand with about about 60k behind. John has that covered by a little bit. The floor is called and Ronnie is told the flop is going to come out and for the rest of the hand he can only Call or Fold. Ronnie then says "Well, obviously I'm going to go all in no matter what" and everyone laughs. The Flop comes all Hearts, Queen High. John, knowing what Ronnie has, can check it down safely but decides to shove. Ronnie calls. Turn 8d. River Ac. Ronnie hits the River and doubles up in this crucial hand.

18:34: John is still alive but down to about 20k. Still Hand for Hand.

18:32: John McGlynn loses with KK vs Ronnie Law's AK. Countdown in progress. Bubble could be burst here....

18:27: Lesley's stack dwarfed somewhat by her neighbour Ng's...
