Chris Bjorin Eliminated in 6th Place (£20,106)

A most unusual thing occurred, in that we saw five players to the flop in a raised pot -- everyone but Robin Keston came along for the ride.

It was inevitable that there was going to be some action, and it was Chris Bjorin in the big blind who was the aggressor, betting out pot (52,000) on the {K-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} flop. It folded to Richard Gryko who looked Bjorin in the eye and gently announced raise. Everyone ducked out of the way, Bjorin called all in for his last 15,000 chips, and they were on their backs.

Gryko: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} for two pair, kings and deuces
Bjorin: {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds} for a bunch of draws, most notably the flush and gutshot

Turn: {6-Diamonds}

River: {K-Spades}

Gryko made a full house, and with handshakes all round, two-time bracelet winner Bjorin will not be winning his third bit of bling today/tomorrow.
