Michael Weissman opened from the button, and received calls from Jaunius Kavalciukas and Patrick Lynn in the blinds.

On the K♦10♦2♥ flop, Lynn check-jammed for around 800,000 versus a continuation bet of 200,000 from Weissman, with Weissman making the call with the covering stack.

Patrick Lynn: K♥J♥
Michael Weissman: K♣9♦

Lynn looked in great shape for a double-up with the better pair of kings, but the 3♦ turn gave Weissman the diamond draw, and the 4♦ rolled off on the river to send him the pot with the nine-high flush.

The players have taken a short break to discuss a potential deal.

Short-stack Sean Murtagh was all-in and at risk versus chip leader Jaunius Kavalciukas.

Sean Murtagh: K♣Q♣
Jaunius Kavalciukas: A♦Q♠

Murtagh’s queen was dominated and his exit was confirmed by the A♣10♠5♥Q♦2♦ runout.

Peter Cahill jammed the button for 440,000 and was looked up by Jaunius Kavalciukas in the big blind.

Peter Cahill: J♠J♣
Jaunius Kavalciukas: A♠5♥

Cahill was in great shape for a double-up but the ace was in the window on the A♣6♣2♠ flop, and the 10♥6♦ turn and river did not provide him with an unlikely escape.

Jordan Cooper had sustained serious damage, having being left with one big blind after being all-in with ace-ten against Alex Coughlan’s ace-queen, and bricking the Q♥8♥9♣7♣5♠ runout.

He subsequently trebled up, but his luck ran out when he moved all-in for around 100,000 and was looked up by Tom Dunne in the big blind.

Jordan Cooper: K♥4♣
Tom Dunne: 7♠6♦

Cooper was ahead, and smashed the 8♦4♦4♥ flop, although Dunne still had outs to the gutshot straight.

The 9♠ turn was almost the worst card in the deck for Cooper, giving Dunne an up and down draw, and sure enough the 5♦ rolled off for a brutal river to send Cooper packing.

Cooper takes home €3,250, including €2,000 in bounties. The players are going on a short-break before the final table begins.

Seamus Cahill has claimed two knockouts in quick succession, disposing of Jamie Flynn and John Enright.

In the first hand, Flynn moved all in for 37,800 from middle position, and Seamus Cahill rejammed with a covering stack, forcing out the rest of the table.

Jamie Flynn: 9♣9♠
Seamus Cahill: A♥A♣

Flynn was unlucky to run his pocket nines into Cahill’s rockets and bricked the K♠5♦4♥J♣K♦ runout.

Shortly after, John Enright was leaving the table after his A♣K♣ had bricked versus Cahill’s K♥K♦ on the Q♥9♦3♦4♥8♠ board.
