In the surprise turnaround of the day, over the course of two crucial chunky pots, Jason Ho has lost his entire stack, finishing in 5th place (£5,100).

One of the aggressors of the final, he soared in chips earlier until he had twice that of his nearest opponent, playing premium and not-so-premium hands to successful effect. But after Peter Gould took a tidy stack off him, he found the quiet but deadly Patrik Selin to be his eliminator in the following hand:

Ho limped along with one other player, and Selin checked his big blind, bringing a cheap flop of {J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Selin bet out, called by Jason Ho who was holding {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The turn, in Jason's own words, "Was a blank. Patrik bet out again, 15k this time - I made it 30k, and he moved in. He played it well, betting the trips like that."

It did indeed turn out that the {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} in Patrik Selin's hand was good and remained so, making this last half hour the most dynamic in terms of chip movement of any in the tournament so far.
