2024 Irish Open
Nikolai Mamut raised to 2,000 from middle position and received a call from David Docherty on the button. Joseph Wrafter then pushed all in from the small blind for 22,000, which only Mamut called.
Joseph Wrafter: A♦K♣
Nikolai Mamut: A♠10♠
Wrafter had the dominating hand, but that changed once Mamut paired on the 4♥2♥10♦ flop. Neither the 9♥ turn nor J♦ river saw Wrafter improve, resulting in his departure from the table.
Gary Stokes got his final 12,600 chips in preflop against Daniel Lenham, who had the covering stack.
Gary Stokes: 6♥6♣
Daniel Lenham: A♠Q♣
Stokes flopped a set on Q♠6♦K♠ and Lenham was drawing dead once the 5♦ turn was dealt. The K♣ river upgraded Stokes to a full house as he raked the double-up.

The action was caught on a completed board of A♠8♦2♣A♦9♣ and with 7,800 chips in the pot, where Andy Black put Jacob Stone all in for 10,000.
Stone immediately called and tabled A♥A♣ for quad aces. Black showed his cards to his opponent before they disappeared into the muck, and Stone doubled up to nearly one starting stack.
Jay O'Toole jammed all in for 7,600 from middle position and was looked up by Ulf Gustafsson in the cutoff.
Jay O'Toole: A♠J♦
Ulf Gustafsson: A♦A♣
Gustafsson's aces faced no trouble on the Q♣4♥6♥6♠7♣ runout and they eliminated O'Toole from Day 1b.
Daniel Tordjman in the hijack checked to Samuel Welbourne on the button on a flop of 9♦2♣7♠. Welbourne then bet 1,300 chips, which Tordjman raised to 4,000.
Welbourne tossed in a call and did so too when Tordjman continued fo 7,200 on the 2♥ turn. The 8♣ river saw Tordjman complete his triple barrel with an all-in bet of 14,100, and Welbourne snap called with the covering stack.
Tordjman tabled Q♦J♦ for queen-high, while Welbourne raked in the pot with 7♥7♦ for a full house.
