There have been a few all-ins and folds at a bunch of the tables. However, just now there was a hand with multiple all-ins.
The hand began with Niall Smyth jamming from late position for 40,000 with . Pat Connolly jammed over the top for 219,500 with before Ciaren Gilmartin with who had both players covered called.
Gilmartin was still ahead after the flop came and after the appeared on the turn. The table erupted after a appeared on the river for Connolly to crack Gilmartin's aces.
Gilmartin still had 280,000 after the hand while Smyth was eliminated just shy before the money.
Roman Gilligan is the first player in the tournament to amass a seven-digit chip stack. The big hand that got him there started innocently enough with two players in late position limping and Gilligan limping behind from the blinds.
All three players checked after the flop came , however, the action more than picked up after the appeared on the turn.
Gilligan bet 15,000 and was called by one player before the second player raised to 35,000. Gilligan flatted before the next player jammed for 200,000. The player behind called as did Gilligan who had both players covered.
Gilligan turned over for the full house while the other players were both drawing dead holding flushes. A blank appeared on the river and Gilligan's stack climbed to 1.1 million while sending two players to the rail.
Mark Buckley limped and then saw Robert Clarke raise.
Thomas Gallagher called and when it got back round to Buckley he jammed all in.
Clarke asked for the bet to be pulled in and found it was 59,500 more for him to call. He had Gallagher still to act behind but he made the call and a peeved looking Gallagher threw away what he later said was ace king.
Buckley was the player at risk with and Clarke seemed happy enough with the race holding .
The board ran out
“Just the quads,” said Buckley with a grin as he collected his tournament saving pot.

The feature table has just begun on delay and you can check it out by heading to the Live Stream tab in our coverage.
Among the players at the table are Nicholas "YerSoLucky" Newport and Shean Lai. The big stack at the table is Lithuania's Audrius Dauguilavicius.
We caught up with Newport, who has more than $1.2 million in online cashes at the last break. He shared with PokerNews that he won two seats to the Main Event and sold one to his friend.
He also won a pair of seats to the €1,100 High Roller but doesn't plan to multi-table the two events. He doubled up his small stack right before break and if things go well for him, he may not play in the High Roller at all.
There is plenty of time to hop into the action at the High Roller with late registration not closing until the start of Day 2 tomorrow.
