Murtagh Takes From Connolly

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a flop of 4106 and with 5,500 in the pot, Willo Connolly lead out with a bet of 2,500, getting a call from Sean Murtagh in the next seat and folds from two other opponents.

On the 6 turn Connolly again put out a bet of 2,500 and Murtagh called.

The 8 turn was checked by both players. Connolly showed 55 for a pair of fives which was no good against Murtagh's K10 for a pair of tens.

Double Up for O'Neill

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Picking the action up on a five way flop of 5QK and 6,000 in the middle, all players had checked their option.

On the K turn Manoel Marques Santos put out a bet of 5,000 and was called by Joe O'Neill, with all other opponents folding.

The river brought the 9 and Santos fired out a bet of 10,000. O'Neill moved all in for his remaining 14,000 and Santos made the quick call to put O'Neill at risk.

Joe O'Neill: K9
Manoel Marques Santos: 75

O'Neill was well ahead on the turn and had improved to a full house on the river, rendering Santos' rivered flush redundant. O'Neill secured a timely double up.
