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.

We are down to 13 players in the Paddy Power Mystery Bounty, with the players having just gone on a 20-minute break.

Jaunius Kavalciukas, who is approaching the milly mark, tops the standings, with full chips counts below.

The following players have been eliminated:-

14 –  Darren O’Sullivan (€950)
15 –  John McDonald (€950)
16 –  Gerard Harraghy (€3,950 – €3,000 in bounties)
17 –  Niall McAree (€900)
18 –  Ryan Ashe (€900)
19 –  Jack Oliver (€900)

Kevin Shank has pulled one of the maximum €8,000 bounties after knocking out Dickie Whiteside, Shank’s ace-seven usurping Whiteside’s ace-ten on the 7♦6♥2♠9♠Q♦ runout.

We are now on the bubble, with 21 players left and 20 paid.

Around 85,000 is in the middle already in a hand between Niall McAree, Sean Murtagh and Jenny Steele.

McAree jams with the covering stack on a flop of Q♥9♠3♥, and after some thought, Murtagh moves his 210,000 stack into the middle. Steele seemed to have a decision a well, but eventually disposed of her hand.

Sean Murtagh: K♥Q♣
Niall McAree: J♥8♦

Murtagh is with top pair queens versus McAree’s gutshot, and although the J♣ turn gives McAree extra outs, the 7♣ river is a brick.

As we draw near the bubble, with 27 players remaining and 20 paid, the following comprise the top ten:

1. Jordan Cooper – 460,000
2. Dickie Whiteside – 410,000
3. Tom Dunne – 350,000
4. Patrick Lynn – 350,000
5. Leo Worthington – Leese – 286,000
6. Darren O’Sullivan – 280,000
7. Jack Oliver – 280,000
8. Alex Coughlan – 275,000
9. Nicolas Sievers – 265,000
10. Gerard Harraghy – 255,000

As the 23 players remaining are sent on their first 20-minute break of the day, Sam Zheng has taken an early chip lead, with the top three as follows:-

1. Sam Zhang – 104,000
2. Graham Masters – 95,000
3. Oliver Hutchins – 88,000

Around 80,000 is in the middle already on a completed board of 8♠6♥6♦9♠9♣, and Kevin Shanks leads out with a bet of 30,000. His opponent, Jordan Cooper quickly moved all in for 92,500, sending Shanks into the tank.

After about two minutes, Shanks makes the call. Cooper showed 9♥8♥ for the full house, having rivered Shanks’ J♥J♠.

All the money goes in on a flop of A♥4♥5♦ in a hand between Leo Worthington-Leese and Brian Burns, with Burns’ ace-jack in trouble versus Worthington-Leese’s ace king. The 4♠10♠ turn and river confirm his exit, sending Worthington-Leese over the 200,000 mark.
