Exits

We have lost Gary Norman, Fadil Isufi, Luke Facer and Alonso Heredia who all take home £470 for their efforts this weekend.

Also, I'm sad to say that Simon @sgriff Griffin has departed in 24th place. Simon was unable to build his short stack up after the break. Today is his third UK Tour cash in the last two Unibet seasons.

After that intense bubble and several quickfire eliminations, the 26 remaining players have gone on a well-deserved break.

One man who has turned his fortunes around in dramatic fashion is Robert Dymek. 

Dymek had just three big blinds (30k) when the bubble burst and since then has been able to find several double ups to take his stack to an incredible 560k! 

Unibet's Estonian Jesus was very active and aggressive with his play during the bubble which has launched his stack up to 650k. 

The last two players to exit in the £440 payout bracket were Andy Norman and Oliver Mcdonald.

Ko as the last longer package bubble boy. Boo. Well done to Robert. Go on and win another package now by winning the tournament.

Simon Koekemoer has departed in 18th place just minutes after the final two tables begun play. 

Simon takes home £630 and was also one of the lucky players this weekend to win a £100 UK tour online ticket after successfully knocking out one of the Unibet ambassadors.

Sachin Joshi has just bust Tsz Hin Ng on Table 2 after calling a shove in the BB. 

The action folded to Tsz on the Button and he moved all-in for around 250k. 

Joshi looked down at one card and said 'another one' and made the call after viewing his second. 

He tabled AQo and Tsz showed pocket tens. 

The board ran A 2 8 A 6 and Sochi moved up to nearly 700k. 

Tsz claims £630 from the Rendezvous Casino payout rank.

Short stack Paul Betts has doubled through Nicolae Cristea. 

Cristea opened the action to 45k with blinds at 10k/20k/3k ante. Dymek called on the BTN and Betts put his 125k stack into the middle from the BB. 

Cristea re-shoved and Dymek folded. 

Cristea was ahead showing K ♣️♣️ with Betts holding J ♥️ 10 ♥️

Betts spiked a pair on the A Q 10 flop and held to double after the 7 turn and 5 river.

Former Day 2 chip leader Nicolae Cristea has claimed 14th place here in Brighton after running A ♥️♥️ into Tom Simm's pocket Kings. 

Simm raised UTG and Cristea shoved from the BB. A simple call for Simm to make. 

There was no heart or ace help for Cristea who bags £730.

Tom Simm and Unibet qualifier Robert Dymek just went to battle in the blinds. 

Simm raised and Dymek defended to see a Q ♣️♠️♥️ flop.

Dymek called a 51k cbet and turn went check, check after the K ♦️ was shown. 

Simm checked once again on the 10 ♠️ river and Dymek stabbed at the pot for 75k. 

It was thinking time for Simm and after concentrating on the board he made the call. 

Dymek showed A ♠️♠️ for Ace high and Simm showed K5 for top pair to win the pot.

Tom Simm, or Fugliee as he is more commonly known in online poker, came into play after the break as the chip leader and has continued his good form to surge further ahead. 

After an all-in and call from Simm, it was Paul Betts who had his tournament life on the line with KQo. 

Simm's AJo was ahead and the 6 3 9 7 9 board did nothing to help Betts who finishes in 12th place for £820.

We have our UK Tour Brighton final nine as Simon Furneaux (11th) and Wesley Lopez (10th) are knocked out. 

Simon moved all-in over the top of Colin Bidwell's open and was called. 

Bidwell was dominated with AJo vs A10o. 

Simon couldn't improve and wins £820 for his 11th place finish. 

Lopez was the short stack on Table 2 and called after Paul Scorer moved all his chips into the middle. 

Scorer was ahead with AQo vs A10o and once again it was the bigger Ace holding that held. 

Lopez claims a money jump and cashes for £890.

We have lost our first player from the official final table and it's the man who finished 7th in this very event last year, Paul Scorer. 

Scorer lost most of his stack against Colin Bidwell after calling an all-in on the turn and missing his straight outs on the river. 

He then eventually lost his last two big blinds with K10 of diamonds versus the pocket nines of Sachin Joshi. 

Paul's 9th place finish is good for £1,200.

Sachin Joshi and Shaun Woolford have been duelling this level with the results ending up all square. 

Shaun's BTN raise was called by Sachin in the BB and the latter called a 85k cbet on the 3 ♥️♠️♣️ flop.

Both players checked the J ♦️ turn, before Sachin lead the river for 285k when the dealer turned over the 8 ♥️

Shaun allowed himself time to think before making the call. Sachin confidently said 'two pair' and showed top two KJ to sweep the pot. 

Woolford got revenge just a few hands later when he snap shoved on Sachin's 153k turn bet on a 9 ♦️♦️♣️♠️ board. 

Sachin let his hand go without much hesitation and Woolford regained the momentum.

Karl Mallion had been playing conservative poker at this final table, waiting for right time to make his move. 

With blinds at 25k/50k/5k ante, Karl raised to 110k from his 650k stack. 

Colin Bidwell 3bet from the SB enough to put Karl all-in. 

He made the call turning over two red Aces. 

Colin's QQ was in bad shape and the 7 8 10 flop gave him no help. 

But a brutal Q on the turn put Colin well in front and the K of clubs on the river sent Karl to the rail. 

Karl collects £1,580 for his 8th place finish.

Quads vs. Full House on FT!

We have had confirmation that final table player Robert Dymek is our last remaining online qualifier and wins a 2000 euro EO package on top of his potential tournament winnings. 

A fantastic achievement for Dymek who had just three big blinds during bubble play with 33 players remaining.

However, he has just lost a massive hand to Tom Simm. 

Dymek raised to 125k from the SB and Simm shipped his 650k stack in the BB. 

The online qualifier snapped called and showed pocket Jacks. Simm was behind with A10 and didn't a lot of help. 

The flop gave him extra hope as it fell 10 8 K. 

When the dealer turned over another 10 on the turn followed by the last 10 in the deck on the river Simm's miracle double was confirmed. 

This left Dymek short with 200k but has since doubled to 500k and 10 big blinds.
