Some Upstairs Action

With the main hall of the Royal Dublin Society filled to the brim, extra tables have been put on the upstairs balcony. On one of those tables, Jesse Kertland had raised in middle position before he called button Daniel Vasser's three-bet to 2,500.

Vasser then bet 2,500 on the 8♠J♦7♠ flop and 10,100 on the 4♣ turn, both times being check-called by Kertland. The 6♠ river was checked to showdown, where Vasser's Q♠Q♣ raked in the pot.

At an adjacent table, Hong Pham checked the 9♥3♣A♦10♦2♥ river from the hijack to Nils Ingebrigtsen in the cutoff. Ingebrigtsen then pushed in a massive shove of 36,500 into the pot of 27,000, sending Pham deep into the tank.

The clock was called on Pham after several minutes, and she folded her hand during the final moments of her 30-second countdown.
