O'Sullivan Doubles Through Enright
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Fergal Coyle opened to 8,000 in middle position and was faced with an all-in of 28,500 from Sean O'Sullivan in the next seat.
Action folded around to John Enright in the small blind, who produced a cold four-bet jam for a total of 70,500.
Action back to Coyle, who pondered his options before mucking his hand. O'Sullivan was at risk.
Sean O'Sullivan: 10♦10♥
John Enright: A♦Q♠
O'Sullivan was ahead in a race and was helped further by the Q♥10♣7♦ flop, giving him a set of tens versus Enright's pair of queens.
Enright was now drawing thin and the 3♥ turn and Q♦ river did not alter the outcome, with O'Sullivan's full house good for the double up.

Bennett Knocks Out McHugh
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mark Bennett had opened in early position only to be faced with a three-bet jam from Turlough McHugh of 59,000. Bennett, who slightly covered McHugh, quickly made the call.
Turlough McHugh: A♥5♥
Mark Bennett: A♠A♣
McHugh was in trouble against Bennett's aces, but the 9♥2♦3♥ flop brought plenty of extra equity as McHugh now had flush and straight draws, giving Bennett a sweat.
However any hope was quickly extinguished by the J♣ turn and J♠ river, sending McHugh to the rail.
