Ronan Murtagh got his remaining 40,000 chips in from late position and was at risk against defending champion Simon Wilson in middle position.
Ronan Murtagh: Q♦J♦ 
Simon Wilson: A♥K♦
Wilson flopped two pair on 3♣A♦K♣, giving Murtagh outs to straight. The 8♠ turn did not provide Murtagh with a ten, and the K♠ river upgraded Wilson to a full house to set his neighbor's elimination in stone.
Level: 15
Blinds: 2,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
Kristian Svanbom in middle position, Joseph East in the hijack, and Josep Ruiz in the cutoff had each put in 35,000 on the 6♥2♦6♣ flop. The J♥ then fell on the turn, prompting Svanbom to push all in.
He covered both opponents and saw East call off his remaining 80,000 chips. Ruiz went deep into the tank before also committing his stack, putting his 155,000 chips at risk.
Joseph East: 2♠2♥
Josep Ruiz: K♦6♦
Kristian Svanbom: 7♠6♠
Svanbom had the worst hand of the three contenders, but it became the best hand when he improved to a full house on the 7♥ river.
East and Ruiz left the table in a stunned state as Svanbom gleefully dragged the massive pot and solidified his position as one of the chipleaders in the room.
Conal Prendergast kicked off the action with a raise to 10,000 in middle position. Lewis Rookyard flat-called in middle position, and table chipleader Florian Bock came along on the button.
David Phelan then pushed in his stack of 53,000 from the big blind, seeing Prendergast rejam for about 500,000. Rookyard snap-called his stack of 125,000 in the middle, prompting Bock to get out of the way and muck his cards.
David Phelan: A♥A♦
Lewis Rookyard: K♠K♥
Conal Prendergast: 8♥8♦
Phelan's aces flopped top set on A♣5♣7♦ and improved to quads on the A♠ turn. Rookyard stayed alive by winning the side pot when the 9♥ river did not bring an eight, while Phelan tripled up by shipping the main pot.
The floor has announced that Day 1d will conclude once each table has played three last hands.
Daniel Curia made it 12,000 to go in the hijack. Rik van Etten pushed in a three-bet to 32,000 on the button, which Curia called after some thought.
Curia then led out with a bet of 25,000 on the 6♥2♠3♥ flop, and fired another 25,000 on the 2♥ turn when Van Etten called the flop bet.
Curia promised Van Etten he would show if he received a fold, and Van Etten obliged by mucking his cards.
Curia tabled J♠J♥ for a pair of jacks, and he raked in one of the final pots of Day 1d.
All of the 487 survivors of Day 1d have put their chips in the bags as 15 levels have been played out.
In the meantime, the late registration of the Day 1e turbo flight has been closed with 725 entries on the clock, bringing the total number of entries in the 2026 Irish Open Main event to 5,003, obliterating the previous record.
Stay tuned for the chip counts of Day 1d, as well as a recap of the day. The Day 1e chip counts will be posted before the start of Day 2.
