Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Michael O'Sullivan
Michael O'Sullivan

There is now one less Golden Chip player hoping to at least make the final table to win a CPP package valued at $10,000.

Straight after the redraw, Michael O'Sullivan jammed all in from late position with {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and got called by Ciaran Gillmartin from the big blind with {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

The {10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Spades} board ran out all blanks for O'Sullivan and he was eliminated in 16th place for €3,250.

Another pay jump just took place with the remaining 15 players all guaranteed a payout of at least €4,000.

Nathan Freeman Smith Eliminated in 15th Place (€4,000)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Nathan Smith
Nathan Smith

Ciaran Gillmartin opened the action and Nathan Freeman Smith in the big blind went to move all in but left a few chips behind which meant he shoved the flop of {2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

Unfortunately for Smith, Gillmartin had hit the flop and called with his {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} against the {q-Spades}{j-Hearts} of Smith.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river the {8-Diamonds} to bust Smith.

Brendan Birt Eliminated in 14th Place (€4,000)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Brendan Birt
Brendan Birt

Brendan Birt opened to 130,000 from the button. Ronan Sweeney three-bet to 400,000 from the small blind and got a call from Birt.

Both players checked on the {9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop and they checked again after the {5-Spades} appeared on the turn.

The action picked up after the {j-Hearts} appeared on the river. Sweeney went all in for almost 1,000,000, which covered Birt. Birt tanked and eventually called with {8-}{8-} for a baby straight. However, Sweeney turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for the nut-straight.

Birt, who was second going into Day 3, said his goodbyes before he headed to the cashier to collect €4,000 for his 14th-place performance.

Action folded to John Power in late position and he moved all in for 700,000. Ciaran Gillmartin was in the big blind and he called to put him at risk.

Gillmartin: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Graydon
Michael Graydon

Just before the break, the action folded around to Michael "Mick" Graydon in the small blind who open-jammed for about 600,000 with {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Yue Wang woke up with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} from the big blind and snap-called.

The {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades} board wasn't able to help Graydon's hand and he was eliminated in 12th place for €4,750.

There are now four Golden Chip players that are hoping to make the final eight to win a Carribean Party Poker package valued at $10,000.

Robert Clarke Eliminated in 11th Place (€4,750)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Robert Clarke
Robert Clarke

Alan Kelleher opened up before Robert Clarke three-bet jammed to about 450,000. Kelleher quickly called with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and was ahead of Clarke's {a-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Clarke took the lead in the hand as the flop ran {6-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. However, the {k-Hearts} on the turn and the {q-Hearts} on the river gave both players a flush.

Unfortunately for Clarke, Kelleher's flush was higher and Clarke was eliminated in 11th place for €4,750.

The action is now five-handed on two tables and after one more elimination, the unofficial nine-max final table will begin.
