The final table of event one of the National Poker League UK Open plays down this evening with Tony G starting as chip leader and Dave Colclough the second short stack.

The £500 no-limit hold'em final table held at London's Loose Cannon club starts with blinds at £300-£600 with a £50 ante, and Tournament Director Roy Houghton will be providing live commentary.

The full lineup and chip counts are: Tony G (£24,725 in chips), Sekh "Steven" Razab (£22,000), Jason Ho (£16,425), Dave Colclough (£15,650), and Eoin Kennedy (£6,750).

Tony G eased his way to the final table as chip leader after knocking out actress Shannon Elizabeth. Her pocket kings ran into Tony's J-10 suited. Elizabeth got all of her money in on the flop with an overpair and G called her down with an open-ended straight-flush draw. He improved and Shannon did not, sending her to the rail only to watch as Tony went on to survive the field and claim his seat at the head of the TV final table.

Event two, another £500 no-limit hold'em game, begins today. The National Poker League is filming and televising all events, for broadcast to a world-wide audience.
