capriccio1 limped in the small blind. Stephane Neves made it 1,500 to go from the big blind. capriccio1 then took a moment before announcing all-in for 15,000. Neves took a few moments, assessed his holding, before dashing his cards back to the dealer.

It seems Table 8 is the place to be for multiway pots early on in this Irish Open Main Event. A five-way affair started with capriccio1 opening to 1,200 from under the gun, with Vladimir Dremov calling from the cutoff, Rudolf Kosa flatting on the button, and Julio Cacoilo and Roger Tondeur completing in the blinds.
The Q♠10♣5♥ flop was checked to capriccio1 who bet 3,000. Cacoilo was the sole caller. The Q♣ turn was checked around before Cacoilo reluctantly check-called a bet of 6,200 on the 5♠ river.
capriccio1 tabled Q♥8♥ for trip queens and Cacoilo mucked.
