British Invasion Has Taken Over the Amazon Room
With Englishman Paul Nash making a run to today's final table, we here at the PokerNews desk have become well acquainted with the soccer-style chants let loose by his countrymen on the rail. We thought we'd give you a sample of the songs that Nash has been serenaded with this evening.
He's a ba-by, Oh he's a bay-by! This chant is a term of endearment meant to not Nash's baby-faced appearance and bald head. His friends told us "well, he just looks like a baby now, doesn't he?"
Did your sister dress you? Did your sisterrrr dressss youuuu? This volley was lobbed at Ryan Laplante, who was clad in an all pink wardrobe during his stay at the final table.
Walk it out, now walk it out! An ode to the rap group Outkast which we heard after Nash received a rare walk in his big blind.
God save the Queen! God save the Queen! This one is self explanatory.
With Paul Nash still alive and only four opponents left until a bracelet winner is crowned, we expect the chanting, singing and cheering to reach a fevered pitch as the night marches onward.
Paul Nash Eliminated in 5th Place ($123,028)
We missed the preflop betting but there were 250,000 chips in the pot and a flop of spread across the felt. Paul Nash bet 160,000 from under-the-gun and Arkadiy Tsinis reraised to 365,000 from the big blind.
The Englishman thought it over for a minute before pushing his remaining 970,000 forward for an all-in move. Tsinis was being laid great pot odds and shrugged before making the call.
Showdown:
Nash:
Tsinis:
Nash had made a power play with pure air, hoping to force Tsinis off of his hand, but he held top pair, top kicker and looked Nash up. He would need to spike a jack or go runner-runner for a straight or flush to take the lead.
Turn:
Nash picked up additional outs with his flush draw, and the Brits on the rail instantly began screaming for spades to fall. Tsinis simply paced around the table while he waited for the dealer to decide his fate.
River:
While he paired his ace, Nash could not overcome the aces up held by Tsinis and he was eliminated in 5th place. He will take $123,028 back to England, and with the current exchange rate, he will arrive on English soil just a bit richer than that.

Lanosga thought about his options but eventually settled on a call with his . Although he was making a move with his substandard holding, he was priced in and had to make the call.

Turn:
