Big Slick slaps Ajax
Nic Zakhem has gone one step closer to becoming a two-time champion by knocking out Daniel Lamberti in 20th place. AK vs AJ on a rag board. All the action was pre-flop.
And in a clash of the minnows, Robbie Sham moved all-in blind with 3 4 and was called by the other short stack Herbert Alting with J 6. Sham flopped a straight draw but was unable to complete it and so gallops out in 19th place.
Jaco Storm has also just been eliminated from the TV table by Ilja Martinovic. Martinovic had the weaker hand but hit his card on the turn to eliminate Storm in 18th place.
A short break for chip counts and re-shuffling down to two tables.
