S.O. Far, S.O. Out! Oatley 3rd (£100k)

And suddenly, with the blinds going up to 40k/80k, we have an all-in! Button Luke Trotman raises to 210k, and Sam Oatley just moves all in. It's counted down and turns out to be exactly 1,134,000. A bit of a think, I pause short of bandying about terms like 'nitroll' though, and Trotman calls this large bet, creating the biggest pot of the tournament!

Oatley: Th-Td
Trotman: Jh-Js

A third Jack on the flop - 4c-8d-Jd - brings a shout of delight from his railers, while the Qs-7c turn and river avoid any straightening for the Tens.

We're heads-up now as Oatley shakes hands all round and takes his leave.


Now here's the board at the end of the hand, and see the stack half on the right and half in the middle? OK add that to the BIG stack at the bottom and you have Luke Trotman as at least a 2:1 chip leader.
