[Luthee13]

Same table, not long after, Matthew Wilson is all in for around 140k and Craig Daly has made the call.

Craig has

Matthew, at risk, has

hope for Matthew

just a Queen or a 10 needed



Matthew gets a full double up from Craig.

[IrishTom]

Again on the outer table 8 we see action... and again Craig Daly is involved... I arrive at the table with the Board showing
and first to act Andy Van Houten bets 36k... Craig counts out his chips... announces raise and moves his pile of purple 5k chips over the line (about 60k) and then proceeds to push the remaining red 1k chips over the line (about 90k).... dealer calls it a 'min raise' (first action was to move 60k over the line which counted as the raise) - Craig counts out the min amount of 72k - Andy folds...

[IrishTom]

Robert Jones with ships his short stack but runs into the of Robert Finn and with first card out Robert Jones hits the rail in 18th for €245

[Luthee13]

Tony Blee raises and calls the re raise "all in" of Bartlomiej Grabowski

Tony has

Bartlomiej shows

flop looks good for 10's

Bartlomiej needs to avoid the club, king or ace to survive. He calls for a 7

It takes him a moment to realise that the river isn't a good card for him. Tony makes the flush and adds the 110k to his stack.

Bartlomiej finishes in 17th €270

[IrishTom]

We reduce to 2 tables of 8...



and almost immediately Nye Venables with 19k committed faces an extra 11k from the All In shove of David Pearson - Nye of course makes the call and flips over ... up against pocket Q's of David... and Nye hits a deuce on the River to give him a straight and send David to the rail in 16th place for €270 - Nye up to 250k

[IrishTom]

On a Board of Dermot Allen is deliberating what to bet - whilst holding a 50k chip - Erwin Boots says 'it's only 1 chip' and Dermot agrees and throws it in - Erwin immediately announces All In and Dermot immediately calls...

Dermot v Erwin - so both with Top Pair but Dermot's Ace currently playing

River and Dermot stays ahead to knock out Erwin in 15th for €300

[Luthee13]

Gerard Kelly moves all in and is called by Robert Finn

Gerard has

Robert has him covered but is behind holding



There are a lot of groans as the river card hits! But Robert makes the straight.

Gerard finishes 14th for €300.

[Luthee13]

Cecil Johnstone raises pre flop

Andy Van Houten moves all in over the top

Cecil makes the call and shows

Andy is disappointed as he turns



Andy Van Houten finishes in 13th for €330.

[Luthee13]

Nye Venables moves his 170k stack across the line - blinds 5k/10k/10k with 10 minutes left at this level.

Tony Blee finds a call.

Nye ahead but at risk with

Tony has



Nye holds and doubles.

Tony still on over average stack - 330k.

[IrishTom]

Nye and Tony involved again... this time Tony shoves over a raise and Nye on The Button makes the call

This time Tony has - only to see Nye flip which hold and Tony hits the rail in 12th for €330 - Nye on 600k
