Farrell takes from O'Dwyer

Level 8 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Steve O'Dwyer has joined Niall Farrell's table, and the two were involved in a three-way pot. With 5,100 in the middle, big blind Anotony Kennedy checked the {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board, and O'Dwyer from under the gun and Farrell from the cutoff followed suit.

Kennedy checked again when the {9-Hearts} river fell, leading O'Dwyer to bet 2,500 chips. Farrell responded with a raise to 11,000 and Kennedy quickly got out of the way. O'Dwyer spent some time on his lucky chair going over the hand and ended up making the call.

Farrell showed that he had rivered a full house with {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and O'Dwyer mucked his hand as he could not beat that.

Talbot Doubles Harkin

Level 7 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

PokerStars Ambassador Parker Talbot has also been spotted in Dublin. He had opened to 1,100 from under the gun when Conor Harkin went all in for 8,100.

The action folded back to Talbot, who asked ''Are you going to reenter if you bust?''. Without getting much of a definitive answer, Talbot replied ''Well, I am'', and he put in the calling chips.

Conor Harkin: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Parker Talbot: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

A classic flip, which was decided in Harkin's favor when the board ran out {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Spades}. Talbot does not have to go to the reentry desk yet as he has nearly two-thirds of a starting stack left.
