Hand #24 - Greco Eliminated in Ninth Place ($22,573)

Passed around to Michael Greco who makes it 40,000 to play, the action stops on Bell who riffles his chips meticulously.

Bell deep reaches for a reraise of 100,000.

Back over to Greco who pushes all in.

Bell calls!

Bell = {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Greco = {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Cooler than a cucumber in the North Pole.

Board = {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Turn = {10-Clubs}

One of two outs remaining...

River {8-Spades}

The former Eastender's cliffhanger finishes on a sad note and he leaves in ninth place to a warm reception.

It folds to von Halle who makes up the blind, and Cheung checks from the big blind.

{7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} -- check, check

Turn: {6-Spades}

Von Hale checks again, and folds when Cheung makes a bet.

More checks than a straight-A student's homework!

Hand #22 - von Halle

Chris Bell limps from the small blind and Jan von Halle checks his option on the big.

{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Both players check.

{10-Clubs}

More checks than a lumberjack's closet!

{3-Hearts}

Bell checks, but von Halle surprises with a bet of 60,000, and Bell quickly calls.

Jan takes the pot with {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Hand #20 - Roberts

It folds around to super-short-stacked Ben Roberts on the button, who promptly goes all in for a total of just 34,000. Mahmood just as quickly folds his small blind, and the action moves to big blind Greco -- it's only 18,000 more to him, and after a brief pause, he calls

Roberts: {A-Spades} {8-Spades}
Greco:{2-Diamonds} {4-Spades} -- oh dear

Board: {J-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {8-Clubs}

Roberts doubles up, and waves to two rather lovely young female supporters who are cheering for him at the rail.
