End of Day 3

And on that cooler of a note, we have our last eight, Finland's Santeri Valikoski taking the chip lead into tomorrow's final table.

Seat 1: Peter Murphy -- 546,000
Seat 2: Ben Roberts -- 419,000
Seat 3: Edmund Sweeney -- 407,000
Seat 4: Santeri Valikoski -- 1,722,000
Seat 5: Rob Sherwood -- 497,000
Seat 6: Paul Carr -- 1,596,000
Seat 7: James Mitchell -- 1,155,000
Seat 8: Declan Connolly -- 735,000

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.
