Jason Wheeler raised to 9,000 from the cutoff and Steven Warburton called from the big blind after consulting with Wheeler how many chips he had behind. While calling, Warburton managed to topple half of a stack of chips and joked he would be playing the remainder of the hand with his chips unstacked to throw Wheeler off the scent.
Warburton check-called a 12,000 bet on the 
flop, with both players checking the 
turn. They both checked the 
river and Warburton showed 
for a straight, and Wheeler mucked before giving himself a pat on the back, suggesting he was going to bet but decided not to at the last moment.
James Mitchell and Ramsey Ajram both bust while we were typing up the previous posts to leave only 13 players in the hunt for a six-figure score.

Balint Pusztai is gone in 15th place after losing a coinflip to Andy Bacon. Pusztai had been nursing a short stack and committed those chips with 
and was racing against Bacon's 
. The sixes held until the river of the 
board, the jack on the river busting Pusztai and leaving only 15 players in the hunt for the ��100,000 first place prize.

Sam Trickett's tournament is over and his name goes down as the 16th place finisher.
Trickett shoved for 39,000 from middle position and was called by Billy Chattaway one seat along. Daniel McAulay ten pushed all-in from the small blind, the big blind folded, as did Chattaway, and the cards were flipped onto their backs.
McAulay held the powerhouse that is 
and Trickett the . The kings remained best on the 
flop and locked up the hand on the 
turn, which is when Trickett stood from the table and said his goodbyes. To rub salt in the wound, the river was the 
, too little too late, and Trickett heads into the foggy Nottingham evening.
