Willie Tann Eliminated in 6th Place (£23,900)
Andrew Pantling came in with a raise to 13,500, and Willie Tann was the lone caller from the small blind, fresh off his double up.
The flop came out , and Tann led out into the pot with 20,000 chips. Pantling looked a bit puzzled, but he raised it up to 46,000 all the same. Tann already had his hands behind his stack before Pantling had even made a move, and he reraised all in back to Pantling. The call came quickly, and the cards were on their backs with Tann at risk.
Showdown
Pantling:
Tann:
Tann was in bad shape, looking for a two-outer or some running straight cards to stay afloat. The turn was close but no cigar, and so was the river. With another heartfelt ovation, Willie Tann was ushered out the door as the first casualty of this final table. It's hard to say enough about the short-stacked performance he put on over the past three days, and it served him well all the way to a sixth-place finish. He'll take £23,900 as a reward for that effort.
