Frank Visser

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Tomas "Lucky Mo" Geleziunas and Shane Holohan were heads up on a board of 5♥8♥9♣A♣3♥. With 160,000 chips already in the pot, Geleziunas jammed all in, covering the 219,000 chips of Holohan.

Holohan went deep into the tank but eventually decided to call. Geleziunas complimented his opponent's call before turning over Q♣10♥ for queen-high, after which Holohan showed A♠J♥ for top pair, awarding him the huge pot.

Yannik Seabrook under the gun and Chua Tijin in the hijack got all of their chips in the middle preflop.

Chua Tijin: 9♥9♦ All in
Yannik Seabrook: A♦10♣

Seabrook could not pair his hole cards on the J♥5♠5♦4♦Q♦ runout and Tijin's pair of nines doubled him up, leaving Seabrook with a literal chip and a chair.

Lappin Holds For Big Bucks

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Salvatorediamante Di Frisco had raised to 13,000 from early position and Eduard Fechita called in middle position. Adam Lappin then jammed in 149,000 from the hijack. Di Frisco quickly folded but Fechita made the call after some minutes in the tank.

Adam Lappin: Q♠Q♦ All in
Eduard Fechita: A♥Q♣

Fechita flopped some extra outs on 3♣K♥10♠, but the 4♦8♠ runout bricked out to give Lappin a big double-up.

Henri Ojala Eliminated During Hand-For-Hand Play; Splits Prize Money With Cunningham and Kirwan

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On the stone bubble, Henri Ojala got his final 130,000 chips from the hijack against Stephen Groom in the cutoff.

Henri Ojala: 8♥8♠ All in
Stephen Groom: Q♥Q♦

The flop of 7♣9♦6♦ gave Ojala a straight draw, but the 6♥ turn brought him no help. Groom made the better full house with the 6♠ on the river and Ojala was eliminated on the bubble of the Irish Open Main Event after making the final table last year.

Luckily for him, Sean Cunningham and Gary Kirwan busted simultaneously on different tables, resulting in the three players sharing two min-cashes, resulting in €1,173 awarded to each player.

Jauring Survives Soft Bubble

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tomas Jauring raised to 52,000 as first to act, leaving 25,000 behind. Niall Callan then jammed all in from the button with the covering stack and Jauring made the call.

Tomas Jauring: A♥K♠ All in
Niall Callan: K♣K♦

Jauring asked for a ten after the J♣Q♥Q♣ flop, but the A♣ turn gave him the better two pair instead. The 4♠ river remained inconsequential and Jauring received a lucky double-up as the field is only five eliminations away from reaching the money.
