Jolyne Thompson Eliminated in 18th Place (��14,438)

Within just a few hands of the bubble bursting, a short-stacked Jolyne Thompson made her move from late position with {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, but was looked up by Allen Cunningham in the big blind who tabled {K-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

"One jack would be nice," requested Thompson as the dealer laid an unfortunate {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} on the felt. A further {10-Clubs} and {4-Clubs} turn and river changed nothing, and Jolyne was gone in 18th. "Ahhh well, at least I made the money," she concluded sincerely, genuinely relieved to have evaded the dreaded bubble.

As players depart and the money nears, the banter remains rife, with Padraig Parkinson telling Theo Jorgensen that he has, "The brain of a Dane and the liver of an Irishman."
