Team 888Poker Ambassador Parker ��Tonkaaaa�� Talbot is through to the final day of theLondon Poker Festival Main Event as the sole surviving Ambassador with 453,000 in chips.

Talbot was left flying the flag for Team 888Poker as the Twitch king spent most of the day under the heat of the feature table lights and the glare of the delayed stream and then hopped into the commentary booth on his breaks to help David Tuchman with some hand analysis.

Registration closed as soon as play started and the prize pool was announced as a guarantee breaking ��427,730.The winner will receive ��88,888 and the trophy while 45 places would be paid with a min-cash worth ��2,365.

Some of the notables who busted short of the money included 2017 WSOP Main Event 4th Place finisher John Hesp, Niall Farrell, Ludovic Geilich, Alex Goulder, Tiffany Michelle and Steve Watts.

The bubble, when it arrived, took over an hour to burst and it was Patrice Alan Brandt on the button who moved all in with {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for just three big blinds. Shah Athar was in the big blind called with {k-Spades}{9-Spades}. The board ran out {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and the remaining players were all in the money.

Play resumes at 2 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 16 and will continue until a new champion is crowned.

The ladies event went into the early hours and Sarah Grant had a look at what made it so special.
