 Very cagey by all accounts, maybe all full from their tea and sandwiches.

Everyone's folding on the flop

So far this level the hands that have made it as far as the flop have ended there. So no major skirmishes as of yet. Chris Ferguson has three-bet all-in on three occasions but got no callers.


Alex Jobling has open limped a couple of times, which we haven't seen from him thus, of course we don't know for sure but that's likely due to Ferguson's propensity for shoving all-in and/or stack size considerations of the other players

We lost one, down to the last 3 now, anyones still, come on sam.


Seat 3. Sam Holden, United Kingdom, 2,700,000
Seat 7. Alexander Jobling, PokerStars player United Kingdom, 4,90,000
Seat 8. Chris Ferguson, PokerStars player, United Kingdom, 1,600,000


6pm: David Knight eliminated in fourth place (£28,780)
Another cooler in four-handed play and this time the all in player departed.


The action folded to David Knight in the small blind and he opened to 200,000. Chip leader, Alex Jobling, was in the big blind and three-bet to 450,000. Knight was having none of that behaviour though and jammed for a little more than 1.5 million. Snap call.


Knight: A♦T♠
Jobling: A♠K♠


The board ran 2♣4♣Q♣6♦K♥ to hand the pot, and the scalp, to Jobling.

Seems like sam is having one of those card dead half hours we have all had. Hopefully these 2 will fight each other and holden can get to a heads up.

The last eight hands

Here's what's happened in the last eight hands...


• Chris Ferguson has won three pots: he three-bet all-in once, got a walk and min-raised and met no resistance


• Alex Jobling has won the other five, he moved all-in once into Ferguson's big blind, moved all-in over the top of a Ferguson open and won one with a simple raise and take. The other two he took down post-flop one was a limped pot where a small turn bet did the job, the other was more interesting


He three-bet to 300,000 from the big blind after Chris Ferguson made it 160,000 from the button, Ferguson called the extra. The two of them saw a 8♥5♣J♥ flop, c-bet of 205,000 from Jobling call from Ferguson. On the 4♠ turn Jobling fired a second barrel, 400,000 this time and it was enough to get the job done.

What does sam have to do. We have all seen this happen,just not many of us for such high stakes i would imagine. Still in though, his luck must change soon. 

 Sam's luck out again

Sam Holden has lost yet another pre flop all in showdown, and is now the short stack.


Chris Ferguson open shoved for 1,010,000 from the small blind and Holden called from the big blind.


Holden: A♠4♥
Ferguson: 8♠6♦


The board ran 4♣Q♦5♥8♣T♦ to pair Ferguson's eight on the turn.

Sam Holden eliminated in third place (£39,030)


Down to around 950,000 Sam Holden moved all-in from the button with A♥5♥, Chris Ferguson made the call from the big blind with A♦Q♦.


The 2♣4♣7♣ flop gave Holden some back door equirty, the 5♦ turn was one of his outs, but the Q♠ river gave the lead in the hand back to Ferguson and with that Holden was eliminated in fourth place. Holden's hands have not held up or hit in the all-in situations today.

Gotta say very unlucky Sam but what a wonderful achievement to finish third for a excellent return off nearly £40,000. Not being rude but not too fussed who wins now so my afternoon is over,hope it has been of some use and may be a decent read later on for people not sure how it went. Well played again Sam, sure you would have taken that at the start of the tourn but with a bit more luck in running could have been a 1st place for you. Enjoy the evening celebrating when the disappointed goes away.
