First major casualty of the day was GBPT Bournemouth champion Pete Singleton, who came into day 2 in 45^th place. All-in with KK he was unlucky to run into quad 6s, and was eliminated. No tour champions remain and there will be a new name on the 2007 Grand Final trophy. Short-stack Surinder Sunar soon followed, his AQ suited beaten by Paul Gardner’s set of 8s.

 

Fellow final tablists Stan Essen (Edinburgh) and Stuart Rutter (Nottingham) clashed soon after with Essen’s A9 holding up and Rutter departing. Joe  Beevers extended his stack to 74,000 having done for Ian Woodley to leave him looking pretty tidy at the end of level 11.

 

Meanwhile friends Antonio Esfandiari and Jennifer Tilly were looking nothing like, when Antonio twice beat her in large pots to leave the chip-leader at the start of the day too close to the felt for comfort and she was out soon after.

 

Play continues with stand-out players Rob Akery, Neil Channing, Roland de Wolfe, Manual Palanca and Charalambos Xanthos building healthy stacks, when Stan Essen goes out on the bubble at the end of level 15, moving all-in for 92,300 with KQ; Palanica called with AQ and a 6 5 3 8 7 bpard was no good for the Scotsman. We have a final table and all places now paid…
