Swift End on Day 3

Trader on TVThe third day of play in London wasn't very fortunate to the remaining three Team PokerStrategy.com players. Trader was the first to bust when he pushed it in with Ace Queen preflop after three players before him put money in the pot. He got called by pocket Queens and received no help from the board. He finished between 70th and 80th place.

PokerNoob busted out shortly after Trader. He was involved in a hand with David "DevilFish" Ulliott.

Allanon was the last player standing. He started the day as the shortest stack of the team with around 60,000 whilst the average was 106,000. Nothing happened to him for a while, but then he went out with a bang. He first doubled up Ace Queen through Pocket Tens, only to lose it with Ace King against Pocket Jacks two hands later. Allanon finished in 62nd place.
