11:25pm: Last free spin of the dice for EvansRichard Evans is the present UKIPT Champion of Champions and is thus one of the most people to have benefited from the extended nature of Season 4 of the UKIPT. His victory within the one table sit and return in March 2013 entitled him to buy-ins and accommodation for all UKIPT Season 4 Main Events.
The proud Welshman was a well-liked winner for the reason that of the entire finalists he was the person who was least prone to buy-in or qualify to the events anyway, meaning that it ultimately meant probably the most to him. We've been tracking his progress all season and, whilst he's been enjoying the experience, he's got one cash to his name for £1,770 which he scored on the Nottingham leg. For the reason that that is the last event of the season it's Evans' last shot at a free payday. He's hanging in there on the moment, nursing a stack of 34,500. -- NW
11:15pm: Katchalov's stack heads to MecaTeam PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov found a place to get his chips in and catch up but it surely led to defeat.
Fatima Moreira De Melo - herself right down to 12,600 after running queens into kings - recounted that there were a raise and contact before Patrik Meca squeezed. Katchalov moved all in behind and was called by one player before Meca re-shoved to successfully isolate.
Katchalov didn't beat Meca's kings together with his tens and the latter moved into the lead with around 200,000. -- MC
11:05pm: De Melo doing ok, Katchalov must catch upTeam PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov and Team PokerStars SportStar Fatima Moreira de Melo was sharing the similar oval all day and up to now it's De Melo who's been enjoying her time at table four more.
Both are below average, but it's Katchalov with just 12,000 who's in peril. A LITTLE WHILE ago De Melo won a small pot - which had no post-flop betting - against Grzegorz Wyraz to climb to 30,000. -- NW
11pm: Tann busts RettenmaierAnother famous person has gone bust here in London with Marvin Rettenmaier losing his last chips to Willie Tann. The united kingdom poker veteran opened to 2,100 within the cut-off, Epameinondas Sintos three-bet to 4,300 at the button and Rettenmaier then moved all-in for 12,300 from the small blind. When the action got back to Tann he moved all-in for around 25,000 and Sintos swiftly folded.
Rettenmaier: A♣Q♥Tann: A♠A♦
The 7♥K♥J♣3♦Q♦ board meant Tann survived the sweat and climbs to over 40,000, whilst Rettenmaier exits into the London night. -- NW
10:55pm: Melin shoves on VisserFull Tilt Poker's Sin Melin has had an up and down day, that is to be expected lot of the time while you mix it up up to she does.

10:45pm: Shove for victoryUKIPT Dublin winner Kevin Kileen came back from break with a mighty eight big blinds (as one can find from below).

10pm: Who killed Kenny? Not Willie, who's freeWillie Elliot have been one of the most stars of Season 4 at the UKIPT. His final table performance in Nottingham back in May will rank as one of the crucial entertaining you will likely to ever see.
London was to not be for him, but he refused to wipe the smile off his face, even on defeat.
The big blow to his stack came in an all in confrontation with David Kenny. Elliot opened to 1,800 from the cut-off and was called by Kenny in small blind en path to a 4♣5♥7♣ flop. Elliot continued for 2,000 and was check-called before he bet 4,125 at the A♦ turn. Kenny check-shoved for 13,100 and Elliot called off the extra.
Kenny opened 7♥7♦ or even the A♦ at the river couldn't save Elliot's A♣T♣.
Elliot was left with around 6,000 and he was out soon after when his jack-ten did not beat an opponent's king-queen. -- MC
9:50pm: Big name, small stackJust under 45% of the sector was eliminated as we reach the general quarter of level eight. 405 of the 736 Day 1B runners remain but quite a lot of big names are heading to the money games, side events, bar or bed.

9:20pm: Simon Trumper in disbelief at slowroll treatmentThere are nitrolls, unintentional slowrolls and intentional slowrolls. Simon Trumper firmly believes the slowroll he just received falls squarely within the third camp. Given his experience both as a tournament director and poker player it's hard to argue with the facts as he presents them.
"My opponent raised and that i re-raised with K♥J♥ to get the blinds out and he's called with A♣2♣," began Trumper. "The flops come Q T 4 with two clubs, so I'm open ended. He checks, I bet and he calls. The turn was the K♣, giving him the nuts. He checks, I bet, he raises and that i call because I DO KNOW he can do this with a jack or a bare ace," explained the Late Night Poker Series 2 winner.
"The river is a blank and he bets 15,000, which covers me. I FEEL it through and judge my king is sweet and make the decision. He asks the dealer how much and because the dealer counts down my chips, I say, 'I hope this is not a slowroll,' only after he's got the count does he turn his cards over. I FEEL my kings good when he asks for the dealer to count my chips I COULD NOT believe it when he turns over the nuts. That's only ever happened once to me once before."
A have a look at this table revealed that the possible slowroller was Jonas Josefsson. -- NW

9:10pm: Panka at the doublePCA champion Dominik Panka has got his tournament going back within the right direction after he doubled through Jean-Michel Porcq.
He opened to 1,200 from mid position and was called by both blinds, Porcq being the small blind. The flop fanned 5♥T♥J♥ and Panka continued for 1,700 and was only check-called by Porcq.
On the K♦ turn Panka shoved for his last 6,550 with K♣Q♥ and Porcq tank called with A♦J♦. The board completed with the 5♠ and the flicker in Panka's eye returned yet again. -- MC

8:45pm: Word at the streetThe lower ground (rooms A & B) remains to be standing room only as tables from room C are broken into it.
It'll come as no surprise to read that Ludovic Geilllich is likely one of the dominating forces within the room with around 110,000. He's a raising machine that's causing his table no end of trouble. Budding poker player and writer, Benny Glaser, has position at the Scot and was one player who managed to win a pot off him by three-betting and c-betting him off a hand.
Team PokerStars Online's Mickey Petersen is quietly going about his business. He's as much as 24,000 and there are few better players around that experience managed the transition from online to live, as he has.
UKIPT host Nick Wealthall has gone, last seen pulling on his jacket and creating a hasty exit.
Eugene Katchalov got the easier of Fatima Moreira De Melo in a hand. He raised into her big blind and c-bet for the win on a 9♣K♣T♣ flop. She has him out-chipped 34,000 to 19,000 though.
Dario Milioto isn't any more but original tablemate, and reigning champion, Robbie Bull continues to be hanging in there. He is not pulling up any roots with 15,500 but you would be a fool to put in writing him off too soon. -- MC

6:40pm: What up room C?Sam Grafton and Craig McCorkell have departed from tournament room C, but Chris Moorman is holding court at McCorkell's former table and is at on around 11,000.
One more table along, David Vamplew continues to be looking to come back within the black. In a single pot he called a button raise to 850 from Felix Stephensen whilst within the big blind. The small blind called too and all three saw a 4♣4♠5♠ flop. Stephensen continued for 1,050 and the small blind called before Vamplew raised to 2,800. Both players folded and the Scot moved as much as 11,000.
One more table along from Vamplew sits another former EPT champion, Roberto Romanello. He's as smiley and chatty as ever and why not? He's doing well on around 50,000.

Roughly 580 of the 725 runners remain, which means Tournament Room D is not any longer in use and there are even some empty tables in Room C.

6:20pm: Now that's poker!The Scandinavians have a name for being pretty damn good at this poker lark and Wilhelm Sascha, who's from Norway, just recommend exhibit 9,763. Pre-flop he three-bet to 2,000 his opponent four-bet to 4,800 and Sascha called. He called an additional 2,600 at the flop, both players checked the turn and the 8♣ completed a board that read 2♣2♦2♠A♦8♣. At this stage there has been roughly 17,700 within the pot and Sascha was facing a raffle of 5,300.
He took the calling chips out of his stack and fiddled with them, looked back at his cards once or twice after which called. His opponent opened K♥T♥ for a king high bluff, Sascha looked down at his cards once, then twice, surely king-ten wasn't good. Sascha then flipped his hand and the entire table saw that king-ten was good, for half the pot, as Sascha had called with K♣T♠.
So an overly exciting hand ended with little or no chip movement in any respect! -- NW
6:12pm: No Sin in seeking to bluff PetersThere isn't any sin in seeking to bluff David Peters but there sure are easier opponents to convince.
The MTT pro opened from the hijack and Sin Melin peeled from the large ignorant of see a Q♠7♣T♦ flop appear. Peters continued for 850 and Melin check-called before both checked the 5♠ turn. Melin led for 2,675 at the 3♦ river and Peters studied hard before flicking within the call.

4:57pm: Cry Sin a riverSin Melin's face looked a little bit like ☹ throughout the second break after she was sucked out on in a hand to drop to 13,000.
She told the blog that she three-bet with 6♦4♦ and called a four-bet together with the unique raiser. The flop came down with two sixes and she or he got all of it in with an opponent who held pocket kings. The entire Tilt Poker Ambassador was looking good until a king dropped at the river to spoil it for her. -- MC
