Action was on a river of 
and Alan O'Carroll had bet 2,600 into a pot of around 3,000. His opponent had raised to 7,000.

Moneymaker Joins the Field
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
"A warm welcome to the Bonnington Hotel and Moneymaker's Road to PSPC 2020," Tournament Director Nick O'Hara announced over the microphone. "And a special Dublin welcome to Chris Moneymaker himself."
Moneymaker has joined the field recently, and a warm round of applause rippled through the field in appreciation. The former world champion was busy taking selfies and exchanging pleasantries with players at his table.
He'll be hoping that he gets as deep as possible and that handing over the Platinum Pass isn't the only action he has at the final table of this event!

Kings Flop Quads Against Aces
Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
In a hand from the stream, Piotr Biernacki limped under the gun 
and Dimitrios Tsilimigras 
limped in the cutoff. Kayer Sherman three-bet to 600 on the button with 
and Alex Sadler then flat-called with 
in the big blind.
Biernacki also called before Tsilimigras raised to 5,000. Sherman folded and Sadler moved all in for 22,800. Biernacki quickly folded.
Tsilimigras was poised to send Sherman to the rail in a classic aces vs kings confrontation, but the flop came 
giving Sherman quads.
The turn 
and river 
meant that Sherman doubled up in sensational fashion.
