Jeff Kimber Eliminated in 8th Place (£18,564)
John Racener (under the gun) and Jeff Kimber (under the gun + 1) both limped in before Jeffrey Lisandro raised pot from the hijack. Racener called without delay; Kimber squinted and paused and looked a little confused, before calling as well.
They saw a flop and Racener checked; Kimber, however, moved all in for around 70,000.
Over to Lisandro, who announced, "I'm all in."
Back to Racener, who asked, "How much?"
We were denied the pleasure of a three-way showdown, though, as Racener realised that Lisandro's 300,00 or so had him covered, and he folded.
On their backs, heads up.
Kimber (whom the TD insisted on calling Jeffrey Kimbler for some reason): for top pair and a gutshot draw
Lisandro: for a set of fives

While this was going on, Lisandro took delivery of a can of Red Bull from a waitress. Not that he needs it - on well over 400,000, he is chip leader by a country mile.
The unhappy Kimber, meanwhile, exits in the same place he finished in when he finalled this event last year - eighth.
