Congratulations Hong, you played one hell of a game! 

After a very entertaining heads up battle where Ryan had Hong on the ropes down to just 2BB multiple times his run comes to an end and he takes 2nd and a very handsome payday of £15,177 after an ICM deal was agreed during heads up play.

Romain shoves and is looked up by Ryan with an Ace in the window of the flop looks good but it's followed by a Queen and a 9 to put Ryan ahead. No help comes on the turn or river and Romains chips go to Ryan.

Gary snap calls from the SB after Romain shoves from the Button. Gary has AK and Romain has QJ. Gary is looking good for the double up until a Jack falls on the river and sends Gary to the cash desk to pick up £6070 for his run. Well done Gary

Sam jams from the SB with and is snapped off by Ryan with 2x s on the flop spells disaster for Sam and he sends his chips over to Ryan who now has 75% of the chips in play.

Rakesh shoves with from the button and is called by Hong from the SB with a  on the flop gives Hong a strangle hold on the hand and the run out is no help to Rakesh, he's out in 6th. Well played sir!

In the HJ Jay moves all in for 740k and our chip leader Ryan moves all in over the top. Everyone else folds and Jay tables  and sees he's in rough shape against The flop brings both bad news and hope as it comes unfortunately for Jay no comes for him. The turn and river are and with neither having a club the set of Jacks takes the pot and Ryan adds a nice chunk to his stack! Well played Jay

After making a tough fold leaving him with a pretty short stack Kanchan found himself having to be all in with against With no help coming for Kanchan he is our 9th place finisher. Well played Kanchan.

Rakesh raises from utg+2 to 80k it folds round to Sam in the SB who moves all in. Back on Rakesh and he makes the call. Sam flips over and yells HOOOOOLD as he sees Rakesh has the the board runs out to give Sam the double up. We're still 9 handed and Sam has put himself in a much better spot to take the title!

Anon moves all in and is called in 2 spots the flop comes and it goes check, check.  The turn is the which gets a bet and a fold leaving just the better and the all in player in the hand. Anon shows and is shown he is drawing dead as Ryan has the river is the and we are off to the final table.
