It's been a long, yet hectic day, with more highs and lows than a mountain range, but after 13 hours of play, nine plucky survivors have gone that one bit closer to fulfilling their dream of becoming Irish Open Champion.
One man in particular, Rob Sherwood, is already going home with more booty than he could have imagined, the online pro from Manchester fending off numerous other online qualifiers to end the day as the last man standing, an achievement that sees an additional €100,000 drop into his back pocket.
Many congratulations to him, and all of this year's finalists. Join us again tomorrow at 2pm as we look to whittle eight down to one. Until then, stick a fork in me, I'm done.
Yann Dion raised to 43,000 and Paul Carr reraised to 175,000 from the blinds. Dion shoved and Carr instantly called, having the Canadian covered by about 100,000.
