Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ken Crowley open-jammed for 148,000 from early position and Jamie Flynn in the seat next to him rejammed for around 500,000 chips. The rest of the table folded and a showdown was ordered.
Ken Crowley: A♠Q♥
Jamie Flynn: A♣K♥
Crowley pleaded for a queen, but a king came instead on the 3♥7♠K♣ flop. The 3♦ turn had him drawing dead, and the 2♣ river sent him off to the payout desk.

The bubble has just burst here in the Main Event.
Glenn Keogh opened to 32,000 in the cutoff and was faced with a three-bet jam by Matthew Blayney to 236,000 in the small blind. Keogh made the call to put Blayney at risk.
Matthew Blayney: A♠Q♥
Glenn Keogh: A♣J♦
Blayney was in a dominating position but the players seemed set for a chopped pot after the board ran out K♥9♦9♣K♣.
Keogh called for a jack as the dealer prepared to put out the river, and sure enough the J♣ rolled off to seal a painful exit for Blayney.
Keogh meanwhile chipped up to a huge stack of 1,500,000.
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Juan Diaz-Caneja raised from early position before Colette Murphy jammed all in for 241,000 from the next seat over. The action folded back to Diaz-Caneja, who quickly called.
Once all other tables finished play, a showdown was ordered.
Juan Diaz-Caneja: K♦K♣
Colette Murphy: A♥K♥
No ace appeared on the 8♣Q♦4♥3♣4♠ board, resulting in Murphy finishing two spots before the money.
On another table, Jude Ainsworth was all-in for his final 16,000 chips against Huy Hang.
Jude Ainsworth: Q♠10♦
Huy Hang: 4♥4♦
Ainsworth paired his ten on the 3♥6♥10♣ flop, and while the 5♠ turn brought a sweat, the A♣ river remained clean as the bubble kept going.
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Kevin O'Malley opened to 32,000 in the cutoff and Willo Connolly three-bet jammed from the button for 134,000.
O'Malley comfortably covered Connolly but took some time over his decision before making the call.
Willo Connolly: A♣8♥
Kevin O'Malley: K♥10♣
Connolly was ahead but that soon changed after the K♣J♦6♦ flop left Connolly drawing to an ace, which did not arrive on the J♣ turn and 10♠ river.
Connolly exited and the tournament director announced that the clock would be paused for bubble play. 86 players currently remain with 84 paid.

Enda McKiernan: J♠J♦
Gerard Wynne: A♠A♣
Both players hit four of a kind on the K♣K♠K♥K♦5♦ board, but Wynne's ace kicker gave him the best hand.
McKiernan laughed about the situation as he took his exit well before the money.
