2026 Irish Open
The field has been sent on its final 20-minute break of the evening.
When they return, two more levels of 40 minutes will be completed before Day 1d wraps up.
Three-way to the K♦9♦7♥ flop, Dean Lyall checked under the gun to Rosemary Mullan in the hijack. She bet 12,500 into the pot of 25,000, after which Jonathan Gjuzi moved all in for 40,500 on the button.
Lyall rejammed, covering Mullan's stack of 220,000, and the latter decided to lay her cards down.
Jonathan Gjuzi: K♥Q♠
Dean Lyall: 7♠7♦
Lyall's set had Gjuzi drawing dead after the 4♦ turn, and the 9♥ river upgraded Lyall to a full house to end the hand in style.

The action was joined with a board dealt to a J♠8♠4♦5♥ turn, and roughly 32,000 in the pot.
James Fowler put a bet of 21,000 into the middle from the hijack, but was met with a raise to 55,000 from Ian Hamilton on the button. Fowler made the call, and the two headed to a river.
That river was the 3♣, and when Fowler checked, Hamilton moved all in, covering his opponent's remaining 165,000.
Fowler took his time to come to a decision, ultimately choosing to return his cards to the dealer and surrender the chips in the middle.

Andrey Milhomem made a minimum raise to 6,000 in the small blind, which Massimo Schiralli three-bet to 23,500 in the big blind.
Schiralli fired 11,000 on the 10♦6♦2♦ flop to see Milhomem check-call. Schiralli then sized up to 19,000 on the 8♣ turn, which was enough to win the pot as Milhomem mucked his cards

When the action folded to Ivan Estudillo in middle position, he put his stack of roughly 49,000 into the middle. Denis Quinn, in the cutoff, then followed suit, committing his stack of 51,000, as well. No other players got involved before Estudillo received the bad news.
Ivan Estudillo: K♠Q♣
Denis Quinn: K♥K♦
There was no miracle waiting for Estudillo in the deck. The 6♠9♣3♥7♦5♣ board was as clean as it comes for Quinn, who scooped in the pot.

Marcus McHale opened to 6,000 under the gun, which a player on his left flat called. When the action folded to David Docherty, he moved all in for 56,000. McHale called, and the second player folded.
David Docherty: 8♠8♣
Marcus McHale: A♥J♦
Both players connected with the flop, but crucially, Docherty flopped a set on 8♥J♣Q♦ to take a commanding lead.
The 10♦ offered McHale a new way to win, but the 6♠ river was unforthcoming, and he paid Docherty his double up.
