We didn't catch the action until the river with a board reading . Hansen had checked to Azzopardi, who proceeded to bet enough to cover the "Great Dane."
Hansen, as he is prone to do, hit the tank and began talking to himself. "I did to time myself," he lamented before calling off his stack.
Azzopardi then tabled for pocket rockets, which bested the of Hansen. With that Hansen took the long walk of loneliness out of the tournament tent, across the foyer and into the Players' Lounge where he is currently playing Pacman in an attempt to best his high score.
Surinder Sunar opened for 1,000 from middle position and received calls from the button and Ciaran Burke in the big blind. Three players took a flop of and two checks put action on the button, who bet 2,200. Both Burke and Sunar folded and gave up on the hand.
It wasn't a big hand, but it did give us the perfect opportunity to update you on Sunar's stack.
Ireland's Frank Lillis moved all in from early position for 5,350 and received a call from Hong Kong's Sum Yip on the button. The blinds both folded and the cards were turned up.
Yip:
Lillis:
It was a classic flip, and Lillis must have liked his chances after the flop failed to help his opponent. The dealer then burned and turned the , which hit Yip. Lillis seemed a bit crestfallen and watched helplessly as the useless peeled off on the river.
"Good game guys," he said before exiting the tournament floor just shy of the dinner break.
After four players had limped, Max Silver raised to 3,000 from the big blind. One fold put action on Full Tilt Poker qualifier Conor Murphy, who opted to move all in for 5,725. Action folded back to Silver, who was sitting on a big stack, and he made the call.
Silver:
Murphy:
It was off to the races, and since the Galway Races are in town, it was only fitting the Irishman held after the board ran out .
"Nice hand," a genuine Silver said as he sent a small portion of his stack across the table.
Level 6 has expired and that means it's time for the one-hour dinner break. Players are off to do whatever it is they do when not playing poker, and we're off to find some Irish grub. See you in an hour!
