The Final line up for the PartyPoker.com European Open III is complete.  Joining Persaud, Fenton and Magill will be Darren Hickman, Pippa Flanders and the Gentleman Liam Flood.
 
Pippa Flanders, the current PartyPoker.com World Open Champion played her own game.  Having just had contact lenses prescribed she would get out of her chair and lean over the table to see the flop, turn or river, and every time she raised she would say please.  Her all in moves are incredible too.  In the third hand Pippa held 8d, 10s and Ian Cox held Qd, 10c.  The board came down 2s, 10h, 7s, 9h, 10d.  Pippa moved all in completely baffling Cox, at first it looked he would call, but he thought and thought and eventually folded. 
 
Ian was the first one again.  He went all holding Ks, Qc.  Don Fagan who was playing the tightest game ever called with Ad, 10s.  The flop came down 8c, As, Jh, and Fagan paired his ace.  When the turn came down the 2h Cox was drawing dead, the river was the 7d and Cox picked up $5000.
 
Sixteen hands later the thoughtful Lascelle Barrow went out.  He moved all in with pocket eights and Darren “The Bridgnorth Bomber” Hickman called with ten’s.  the flop showed 10c, 7d, Js.  The Bridgnorth bomber was leading but Barrow needed a 9 to make the straight, the turn came down Ah, one card to come to save Barrow.  A ten flipped over on the river giving the Bridgnorth Bomber quad tens and sending Barrow home with $7,500.
 
Three hands later it was over for Fagan, he had a game plan for the three finalists watching in the green room and it almost worked.  The plan was to play like a rock and if he made it to the final he would completely change his strategy and mix it up, but he ran into Flanders.  Fagan went all in with Ac, Qc and Pippa called with pocket nines.  The flop came down 8h, 9h, 6s which left Fagan drawing dead.  The turn and river came down the 2d, and the Ah.  Fagan left with $10,000.
