The chips are as close as can be, now that Kirk Morrison has finished a surprising third, and Jennifer Harman has regained her early lead, in what can only be described as a comeback from the edge:
Jennifer Harman -- 527,000
Thomas Bihl -- 525,000
No break. On with the show; the cards are in the air already.
Morrison brings it in, Harman completes, and Morrison calls. On fourth street, Morrison checks, Harman bets and Morrison calls. On fifth street Morrison checks again, Harman bets, and Morrison calls. On sixth street Harman bets and Morrison calls all in. Harman turns up a pair of jacks for high, while Morrison has a pair of fours and an 8-7-4-2 low draw. He'll need to catch a low card or pair one of his high cards to survive. Alas, it is not to be, and Morrison is eliminated in third place, earning £ 26,250.
PokerNews grabbed HORSE final tabler Kirk Morrison on dinner break from BOTH the events he played in today. He played loose and fast to try to accumulate enough chips in PLO to fade the blind-out time he hoped it would take him to win the HORSE event, but busted from PLO.

Bihl:
On fifth street Bihl bet and Morrison called. On sixth street, Morrison paired his eight and bet out, and Bihl called. On seventh street, Morrison checked, Bihl bet, and after a long think, Morrison called. Bihl showed kings and sevens, Morrison mucked and Bihl dragged a sizeable pot.
I don't think Kirk Morrison has even nominally brought up the rear of the chip counts yet today, so here's his low stack debut (although the way it's going right now, there's a new slight leader every few hands).
Thomas Bihl -- 380,000
Jennifer Harman -- 360,000
Kirk Morrison -- 300,000
