. A final board reading 
sent Lappas to the cashier’s desk to collect £9,000.
Twenty-six hands later, Jack Hoffmann looked down at

Three hands later, Jav Javed committed the rest of his stack with

of Davies. Neither player improved on the 
board, Davies’ ace-high being enough to reduce the player count by one.
Davies then had his queens cracked by king-three and never managed to fully recover. The last of Davies’ chips went into the middle with after Cummings had limped in with . A queen on the flop gave Davies hope, but a king on the turn locked up the hand for Cummins and sent the tournament to the heads-up stage.
