£150 Mini Main Event final table set with nine players remaining

The £150 Mini Main Event has reached its final stages after an intense second day. Only nine players now remain in contention, with the final table set for tomorrow. The action unfolded with high stakes as the field narrowed down from eleven to the last contenders. Day 2 began with eleven players still in the running. Zhongming Liao was the first to exit, finishing in eleventh place for £860 after losing with Aces against an opponent’s Kings. Following his elimination, the tournament entered soft hand-for-hand play, ensuring fairness as the bubble approached.

Farida Ahmed held the shortest stack when ten players remained. She pushed all-in for 390,000 from under the gun with 10♠10♦9♦, but John Leslie called from the cut-off with A♠5♠. The hand didn’t go her way, and she was eliminated in tenth place, also earning £860. John Leslie now leads the remaining field with 1,880,000 in chips. The poker.pro live blog tracked the action with a 30-minute delay, keeping fans updated as the drama unfolded. The final table will start at 15:00 tomorrow. Viewers can watch the conclusion live on PartyPoker’s YouTube channel, again with a 30-minute delay.

Nine players will return for the final table, competing for the remaining prize money. John Leslie enters as the chip leader, while the others will look to close the gap when play resumes. The live stream ensures fans won’t miss a moment of the decisive action.
