Nils Jarefjall raised to 6,000 in the cutoff and called when Nikolay Bilyk made it 15,000 to go on the button. The flop fell 8♦K♠3♦, on which Jarefjall check-called Bilyk's continuation-bet of 7,000.
The Q♦ turn and 9♣ river then checked to showdown, where Jarefjall tabled J♦J♣ for a pair of jacks. Bilyk had turned the higher pair with his A♣Q♣, however, and was awarded the small pot.
With around 25,000 already in the pot, Kare Hallamaa got his stack of 53,500 in from the small blind on the 2♠5♠3♣ flop and was at risk against Nicholas Toledo in the big blind.
Kare Hallamaa: A♠10♠ 
Nicholas Toledo: K♥K♣
Hallamaa had an overcard, a flush draw, and a gutshot straight draw to work with, but none of his outs arrived on the 8♣9♣ runout, marking his elimination.
Nicolas Bokowski made it 6,500 on his button and called when Frank Stepuchin three-bet to 20,000 from the big blind.
Stepuchin quickly pushed in his remaining 62,000 chips on the K♣6♠Q♥ flop, and Bokowski made a swift call with the covering stack.
Frank Stepuchin: A♦10♠
Nicolas Bokowski: K♥7♥
Bokowski's top pair became two pair on the 9♠7♣ runout, sending Stepuchin to the exit.
Three-way to the 8♦10♥4♣ flop, with around 25,000 in the middle, Michael McAleer pushed in his stack of 45,000 from the small blind.
Daniel Smiljkovic spent some time in the tank before he rejammed, causing Satelle to move out of the way.
Michael McAleer: A♣8♣
Daniel Smiljkovic: 10♦9♠
Smiljkovic had flopped the higher pair, but McAleer improved to trips on the 8♠Q♣ runout to take the pot and double up.
The players have been sent on their last 20-minute break of the night.
When they return, two more 40-minute levels will be played before Day 1b wraps up.
Easter Monday is an important day to many around the world, and for 22-year old Simon Wilson, this day became a lot more special. He topped a record breaking field of 4,562 players that entered the 2025 installment of the Irish Open €1,150 Main Event at the Royal Dublin Society to claim a whopping €600,000 for his first-place finish from the €4,447,950 prize pool that was amassed over four unique flights.
Wilson is a local lad, hailing from the town of Ashbourne, which is no more than a 30-minute drive north from the centre of Dublin. He had a hearty rail supporting him throughout the final table play, filled with friends and family members who enthusiastically sang and chanted for hours.
"It feels incredible to win" said Wilson when talking to PokerNews. "This year it was a massive festival, more of an EPT sized field and with the standard of play, it was a lot tougher than some of the other tournaments. I've had wins in my career but to win besides my friends and family with my Mum and Dad watching at home I can't describe it, it is just incredible."

Dargenio requested a count, but quickly folded his cards when he heard the correct amount.
