Richard Kellett opened to 300 from under the gun, which only Gijsbertina van de Steeg called, a couple of seats to his left.
Kellett continued 400 on the Q♥2♥10♠ flop, and Van de Steeg called.
The flush completing 3♥ turn slowed Kellett down, who then folded when Van de Steeg put 1,000 into the middle.
Raising from under the gun, Tommy Nyberg made it 300, which Melanie Simpson and Vojtech Paxian each called, from the button and the big blind, respectively.
Nyberg continued for 600 on the 4♥7♠7♣ flop, which Simpson called. Paxian then put in a check-raise to 2,000. Both Nyberg and Simpson folded, and Paxian had the chips pushed his direction.
Gary Trainor limped in early position, seeing Emmanouil Fountoulakis bump it up to 700 in middle position. Ryan Straub called in the cutoff before Gary Whitehead committed his last 2,900 on the button.
Georgios Bimperis then four-bet to 5,000 in the big blind, which only Fountoulakis called.
Bimperis check-called Fountoulakis' bets of 3,500 on the K♠9♥8♦ flop and 5,200 on the 4♥ turn before the 9♠ river was checked to showdown.
Bimperis tabled A♦K♥ for kings and nines, besting the Q♠Q♥ of Fountoulakis and the A♥J♣ of Whitehead to drag the sizable pot.
Over at another table, Alain Riss was spotted with over double the starting stack, worth over 1,000 big blinds at this point.
Level: 2
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 200
The action was joined with 6,500 in the pot, and a full board showing 3♠9♣9♥10♠Q♠.
Hoa Nyugen placed a bet of 1,200 from early position, and the action was on Manuel Schrage in the hijack.
Schrage responded with a raise to 5,000, which, after a moment's consideration, was enough to see Nyugen fold.
Robert Kiersey opened to 500 in early position, which was met with a raise to 1,900 by Melanie Simpson on the button. The action folded back to Kiersey, who called.
The action checked through on both the 5♦J♦4♦ flop and the 6♠ turn.
The 6♦ completed the board, and when Kiersey checked for a third time, Simpson saw a green light to put some more money in the middle. Her bet of 1,700 was quickly called by Kiersey, who flipped over 9♥9♦. Simpson mucked her cards, and Kiersey pulled in the pot.
Scott Berko opened his button to 500. 2024 Irish Open champion Tero Laurila called in the small blind, and Andrew Dooley came along in the big blind.
The A♦6♥J♣ flop was checked to Berko, who continued with another bet of 500. Laurila called before Dooley folded. Berko sized up to 1,700 on the 3♥ turn, again seeing Laurila check-call.
Laurila kept checking on the 9♦ river. Berko spent some time in the tank before firing an overbet of 6,300 into the pot. Laurila quickly looked him up, but he mucked his cards in defeat when Berko tabled J♥J♦ for a flopped set.
The action was joined with roughly 30,000 already in the middle, and a 5♦4♣Q♥A♣3♠ board face up on the table.
John Bell put 10,000 into the middle, and Pierre Gamet called, one seat to his left.
Bell flipped over A♥4♥ for two pair, which was enough to claim the pot when Gamet showed A♦K♠.
