Next up was the big one, the Munster Main Event – Final got underway, from a field of 590 entries, 93 secured a seat for the final.

The Charleville 300 got underway which saw 27 players involved, bringing the prize pool to €6,740. Zeik Tuit, an IPT regular and fisherman by trade, was unable to cash.

Last to kick off was the Omaha 4/5 Cards, which as the festival winds down is always a somewhat light hearted affair. Players swapping stories and tales from the days gone by.
