Play resumes at 15:00 on Sunday so make sure you set your alarms for then and join us as we conclude this fabulous tournament!<\/p>\n

23:48 – Final Table Is Set<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are down to nine players in the partypoker WPT National UK Milton Keynes Main Event after two eliminations in quick succession. First, Andrew Sledmore busted then a relatively short stacked Nicholas Humpris moved all-in with and Sunil Mistri three-bet all-in with and Humpris called.<\/p>\n

The board fell and with that Humpris busted and the final table reached.<\/p>\n

23:40 – Pettman Can’t Pull The Trigger<\/strong><\/p>\n

The action folded around to Richard Jwanczuk in the small blind and he set the price to play at 36,000. Liam Pettman was having none of that and he raised to 85,000 from his seat in the big blind. Jwanczuk responded with a four-bet to 230,000 and Pettman went into the tank. Off came his tracksuit hood and out came the earphones. A full minute passed before Pettman folded.<\/p>\n

“I knew you were bluffing; your eyes were darting everywhere,” said Pettman, “I just couldn’t pull the trigger.”<\/p>\n

23:26 – Villegas Vanquished<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jay Villegas, a partypoker qualifier, is n longer competing for the \u00a312,750 first place prize, instead he has been awarded 12th place money.<\/p>\n

Villegas limped under-the-gun and the action folded to Richard Jwanczuk on the button and he raised to 46,000. Villegas called. The first three community card onto the felt fell . Villegas led for 58,000 and immediately faced an all-in bet of 350,000 from Jwanczuk — Villegas had 260,000 in total.<\/p>\n

Villegas was squirming in his seat, shaking his head and truly agonising over his decision. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he announced call and moved his chips into the middle of the table.<\/p>\n

Jwanczuk: <\/p>\n

Villegas: <\/p>\n

Villegas stood as the dealer placed the onto the turn, locking up the hand for Jwanczuk. The completed the board, ended the hand and left the tournament with only 11 players.<\/p>\n

23:15 – Slow Down<\/strong><\/p>\n

The play has slowed down dramatically over the past half hour with most posts being settled preflop or with a simple continuation bet on the flop. Some of the shorter stacks will have to make a move soon, though and when they do we expect fireworks.<\/p>\n

23:03 – And Then There Were 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gary Miller, who was the runaway chip leader earlier today, is our 13th place finisher. He made a move with pocket sixes and was looked up by Nicholas Humpris and his [Ax][Kx]. Humpris paired up by the river and Miller busted out.<\/p>\n

Humpris now has 620,000 chips and is up among the leaders as the final table approaches.<\/p>\n

22:55 – Barry Busts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robert Barry’s tournament has come to an abrupt end as his couldn’t get there against the of Lian Pettman. Both Barry and Pettman were short stacked, although Pettman covered his opponent slightly. The final board read , sending Barry to the rail.<\/p>\n

Thirteen players remain.<\/p>\n

22:38 – Double For Gudger<\/strong><\/p>\n

partypoker qualifier John Gudger has doubled to 400,000 after flopping a straight in a so-called “big blind special.”<\/p>\n

Gary Miller min-raised from late position and Gudger called in the big blind. The flop fell , Gudger checked, Miller continued with a 24,000 bet, Gudger moved all-in and Miller tank-called.<\/p>\n

Miller: <\/p>\n

Gudger: <\/p>\n

Miller needed running cards to a full house in order to prevent Gudger from doubling up. An ace on the turn drew some groans from the players at the table but the [7x] on the river was not what Miller was looking for and Gudger did indeed double.<\/p>\n

22:28 – And We’re Off<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last 16 players are back in their seats. Blinds are 6,000\/12,000\/2,000a.<\/p>\n

22:03 – Break Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

The players have been sent on their last break of the night; three more 40-minute levels and we will wrap things up here in Milton Keynes.<\/p>\n

21:59 – Jack Misses Draw and is Elininated<\/strong><\/p>\n

The partypoker WPT National UK Milton Keynes Main Event is an all-male affair after the last female player, Renata Jack, was eliminated a minute or so ago.<\/p>\n

Jack moved all-in with an open-ended straight draw on a [9x][8x][8x] flop and was called by Andrew Sledmore and his . The turn and river bricked and we lost another player. Sixteen players remain in the Main Event.<\/p>\n

21:45 – The Rich Get Richer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sam Goodman has 750,000 and is by far our chip leader here in Milton Keynes. in a hand just now, Goodman opened to 22,000 andwas facing a three-bet to 55,000 from Liam Pettman. Goodman then moved all in for 400,000 effective and Pettman had a real decision to make, one for his tournament life.<\/p>\n

“Ace-queen no good?” Pettman said with a smile on his face, but Goodman refused to even look at Pettman, never mind answer him. Twenty seconds later, Pettman folded and Goodman added to his impressive stack.<\/p>\n

21:40 – Quads For Gudger<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Gudger, a partypoker qualifier, has doubled through Michael Ramsay (another partypoker qualifier) by making quad deuces! The chips went into the middle preflop, Ramsay well-covering the short-stacked Gudger. Ramsay held and was against the . The final board ran out improving Ramsay to a diamond flush and Gudger to quad deuces!<\/p>\n

“Give that man an extra free drinks token!” said Andrew Brisland<\/p>\n

“I agree!” said the tournament director.<\/p>\n
