Shine Takes a Hit

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Cathal Shine
Cathal Shine

On the river of a board {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Hearts}, 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 {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for the straight, and Shine took a hit as his two pair with {K-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} were no good.

Shine remains among the bigger stacks, though, and holds nearly two times the starting stack.

Kavanagh Out in the Main Event; Reard Ousted in High Roller

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Alexandre Reard
Alexandre Reard

Stephen Kavanagh and Frida Andersson clashed in a battle of the short stacks and the former ended up all in and at risk with the {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Andersson barely had him covered with {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and won the flip thanks to a board of {J-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

The final nine of the €2,200 High Roller were moved right in front of the feature table and UnibetPoker.fr ambassador Alexandre Reard was just eliminated in 9th place with five spots paid. Short he moved in with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and saw Michael Mazilu go all in with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, Kevin Killeen looked up both shorter stacks with the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}. The board came {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and that was it for Reard, while Mazilu tripled up.

More Day 1a Casualties

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

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 {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} 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 {6-Clubs} turn and {10-Hearts} river.

Csire briefly showed his cards but couldn't beat the {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} of Wilkens, who added a few more chips to his stack.

"Short and Sweet" Exit for Grimason

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Daiva Byrne
Daiva Byrne

Andrew Grimason ended up all in and at risk for the last 9,025 and was called by Unibet Poker ambassador Daiva Byrne in the small blind.

Andrew Grimason: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Daiva Byrne: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The most classic of all flips went in favor of Byrne as the board came {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Grimason left the table with an "alright, short and sweet."

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 {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, 2,200 on the {9-Hearts} turn and 3,500 on the {6-Clubs} river. Dohany called the first two bets rather swiftly, then did so again after some consideration for the third one.

Asen rolled over {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a bluff and Dohany had that beat with {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} to recover some chips.

Tucknott Takes From Groblewski

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Joining the action on the {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts} turn, Jakub Groblewski checked and called a bet of 6,400 by Michael Tucknott on the button. The {2-Spades} on the river was checked and Groblewski the first to show, revealing {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a busted nutflushdraw and open-ender that didn't get there either.

Tucknott won the pot with {8-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a pair of sevens and the same open-ender, boosting his stack by quite some margin.
