Kara Scott: 1,996,000
Christer Johansson: 1,407,000
Atanas Gueorguiev: 1,626,000
Kara Scott leads at the moment, but there's not much in it. We could see the pace slow a little when they get back -- unless, of course, some sort of deal is struck.
By the time the hit on the turn, Brooke-Pearce was drawing dead and now four-handed, the remaining players are off on a 20-minute break.
Board:
Johansson doubles up to 1,100,000, while Brooke-Pearce is now very firmly our short stack -- he is left with perhaps 300,000.
The board runs out , upping Gueorguiev's stack into what is probably the new chip lead (although it's all evening out here on the final), while Kassouf exits to a round of applause.
Flop:
Check, check.
Turn:
Kassouf checked, and Brooke-Pearce bet 100,000. Surprisingly quickly, Kassouf passed. Brooke-Pearce's one-woman support section at the rail went crazy.
Level: 24
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 3,000
She doesn't pass, however. She thinks for a long time, fingers laced, and chats, smiling, with Pantling. Whatever she gleans from this interaction (wish I could hear what she was saying) she makes a decision: call.
Kara shows , in great shape against Pantling's . The flop is met with hush from the crowd, but a round of applause greets the turn, giving Scott trips and leaving Pantling drawing dead. Over 1,500,000 for her now.
William Kassouf raised, but folded to a reraise from an impassive Atanas Gueorguiev in the big blind.
Andrew Pantling raised under the gun and it was enough to frighten everyone else off.
The next hand it was Christer Johansson's turn to raise, but Pantling made it a hefty 275,000 to go, and after a moment spent counting his chips and eying up his apparently unconcerned opponent, Johansson folded.
