“How much are you playing?” Will Kassouf asked Matt Staples. After receiving confirmation on the 1,150,000 stack, Kassouf decided to put Staples all in. Staples called, and we had a Blind VS Blind showdown.

Will Kassouf: K♣4♣
Matt Staples: A♦4♥

Staples had the chatty Kassouf dominated, but the clubs were working, and the 3♣A♠6♣5♥A♣ runout was proof of this. Brutal runout for Staples, and he was eliminated in eighth place for £4,450.

Will Kassouf: 4,410,000
