Even Battle as Rice Hits Ace from Space

Level 41 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

For the second time this heads up all the chips were in the middle. Declan Rice limped his button before David Docherty announced his all-in from the big blind. Rice called and their cards were announced to the spectators.

Declan Rice: {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
David Docherty: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

Docherty was one big flip away from winning the 2023 Irish Open Main Event and the tension rose as the dealer put forth the flop.

{k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} was clean for Docherty's ducks, and so was the {3-Hearts} turn. Only needing to fade an ace or a seven, his friends were getting ready to celebrate his impending victory.

However, Rice hit a classic ''Barry Greenstein'' when the {a-Spades} appeared on the river. Rice doubled up the players are now playing virtually the same stack as the battle goes on.
