Level 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
On the river of a board 
, Szabolcs Vari checked over to Cathal Shine, who simply bet 15,000 for just more than the pot. Vari had fewer than that behind and snap-called with the nuts, holding

were no good.
Shine remains among the bigger stacks, though, and holds nearly two times the starting stack.

The hopes of Martin Soukup to add a second Unibet Open Main Event title to his poker resume have been cut short here in Dublin as he was among the latest players to bust. Soukup has another chance to run up a stack for Day 2 in tomorrow's turbo heat with levels of 20 minutes each and he may very well be joined there by Tomasz Kozub.

Shine and Wilkens Among Big Stacks
Level 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
Cathal Shine was paid in full when turning a full house with pocket nines and nearly doubled his stack. Lee Egan sent Jorma Vuoksenmaa to the rail to boost his stack on a different table and Marc Wilkens is also among the bigger stacks right now.
Wilkens raised it up to 900 on the button and was called by Kevin Mathers in the small blind and Gabor Csire in the big blind. The flop came 
and Mathers checked, Csire did so too, which prompted a bet of 1,100 by Wilkens. Mathers quickly folded while Csire check-raised to 3,200. Wilkens came along and both players then checked down the 
turn and river.
Csire briefly showed his cards but couldn't beat the 
of Wilkens, who added a few more chips to his stack.

Dohany Calls Down Asen
Level 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
Kjetil Asen raised to 1,100 and was called only by table neighbor Kalman Dohany in the hijack. Asen continued to fire three barrels worth 1,500 on the flop, 2,200 on the turn and 3,500 on the river. Dohany called the first two bets rather swiftly, then did so again after some consideration for the third one.
Asen rolled over 
for a bluff and Dohany had that beat with 
to recover some chips.
