David Lloyd has been playing a disciplined, measured game since he first caught our attention and this last hand was no different. He limped his small blind and after Mark Phillips checked in the big, the flop came down Q 8 7.

Both players checked and after the turn brought the A Lloyd fired at the pot. Phillips moved all-in and after a bit of thought Lloyd made the call. 9-T for Phillips needed a ton of help against Lloyd's 8 7, but the 5 on the river wasn't it.

Lloyd doubles in a big way and Phillips kisses a huge chunk of his stack goodbye.

Mark Phillips is nothing if not reckless which, as we just saw, sometimes works in his favor. A moment ago Bo Erichsson paid the price for acting on Phillips' aggressive table image. It began with Phillips opening from the cut-off and Bo calling in the big blind.

The flop came down J 8 5 and after a check from Erichsson, Phillips moved all-in. Erichsson immediately called and turned over Q J, which he had every reason to believe would be good.

Phillips tabled A J, however, and after the board finished out 9 6 he was good for the double. Phillips is now back up over $300,000.

Mark Suddes is no more at this final table. His stack had fallen below the 10BB mark, and when it was folded to him in the small blind he shoved for around $60,000. David Lloyd sat in the big blind and made an easy call with A-Q.

Suddes was in trouble with Q-T and after the board was dealt, Lloyd's ace was enough to take the pot and send Suddes on his way.

Mark Suddes is out in seventh and will take $11,100.

Denmark's Toke Nielsen has just been eliminated, caught making a bit of a move and failing to catch the cards he needed to stay alive. We didn't see the hand but Nielsen was nice to enough to fill us in as he waited to get paid.

Nielsen started his last hand with around $80,000 and shoved it in from the big blind over the top of an opening raise from the player on the button. Toke had K-5 and his opponent made the call with A-8. Since Nielsen was busted we can only assume the board did not help him out.

Toke Nielsen is out in eighth and will take $8,300 for his time here in the Caribbean.

We have the first elimination of the day and it is the severely short-stacked Bob Riley. He came into the day on life support and when he found himself in the big blind facing an opening raise from Mark Phillips, he had no choice but to call.

Riley had 6-2 and saw he wasn't in the worst shape as Phillips tabled J Q. The board ran A Q 7 8 3 and that was all she wrote for Mr. Riley.

Bob Riley is eliminated in ninth place, taking $5,500.

We have our first noteworthy hand of the day - noteworthy both because it was a double-up and because Mark Phillips was unable to suck out. Bo Erichsson opened to $18,000 from middle position and it was folded to Phillips in the small blind.

Phillips moved all-in and he had Bo well covered. Erichsson made a quick call, turning over A K. Phillips found himself in a bad spot with K Q, and the K 9 6 8 6 board changed nothing. Erichsson doubles to around $140,000 while Phillips slips to the $300,000 mark.
