Nguyen Busts to Simpson

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Kelvin “Snutz” Nguyen
Kelvin “Snutz” Nguyen

The first of the esports gamers has been eliminated on Day 1b and that happened to be Kelvin “Snutz” Nguyen - Kelvin Nguyen, who walked out of the tournament area.

"It was against Ian (Simpson)," Nguyen said on his way out and a look at his former table indeed confirmed a bigger stack for the Unibet Poker ambassador, who provided the necessary details.

Apostol Beg had raised first to act to 900 and Simpson three-bet to 2,800 from one seat over, which only Nguyen flat-called on the button. The flop brought {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Simpson bet 4,000, Nguyen raised to 9,000 with few chips behind and the esports gamer called all in with {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

Simpson tabled the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and faded the flush draw and back door full house, as a king and a blank came on turn and river.

Clarke and Reard Among Casualties

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

Former Irish Open champion Patrick Clarke and UnibetPoker.fr ambassador Alexandre Reard were among the most recent casualties with 169 players out of 190 entries remaining. Reard had a difficult spell at the tables today, losing a big portion of his stack soon after sitting down, grinding it back up before losing another big pot.

Eventually, Reard took a flip with ace-king against pocket jacks and failed to get there.

Bergmann Eliminated by McMillan

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The second battle esports gamer versus Unibet Poker ambassador this time ran out in favor of the esports pro, as Scott McMillan was spotted raking in the chips while Fredrik Bergmann left the tournament area. The cards were all but rushed away, but Bergmann was kind enough to provide further details.

Bergmann had lost a big pot early on and then defended his big blind with a stack of 24 big blinds and {J-}{10-}. McMillan had raised to 900 in the cutoff and Bergmann flatted with {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}, flopped top pair on {J-Hearts}{5-}{2-Hearts} and check-jammed only to be called by McMillan with {Q-}{J-} for the superior kicker. There was no help on turn and river, and Bergmann was gone. He will likely not enter Day 1c and rather take a shot at the Side Events later on before enjoying the city of Dublin.

Stacey Runs Into Aces

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The €2,200 High Roller bubble boy Janos Kurtosi found no fortune in the Main Event either and busted shortly before the end of level four, as did Daniel Stacey. All remaining chips of Stacey were already pulled into the middle and he was at risk with the {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, his opponent had him on the ropes with {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}.

The board came {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Stacey was sent to the rail.

Second Break of Day 1b

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The tournament room in the Bonnington Hotel is filled with chatter as the remaining 165 players out of 191 entries have headed into their second 15-minute break of the day. Another six levels of one hour each remain before bagging and tagging, and all those that have already busted on Day 1b and yesterday's 1a can join the turbo heat 1c as of 9 p.m. local time.

Level: 5

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 75

Vranken Back Above Starting Stack

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Antoine Vranken made it 1,500 to go and was called by Luke Walsh from one seat over. The duo checked the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop and the {5-Hearts} turn, and Vranken led the {2-Diamonds} river for 2,000. Walsh was interested enough to call and was shown the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for two pair by Vranken, which won the pot.

After a disastrous start into Day 1b, Vranken has climbed back above the starting stack while Walsh remains comfortably above it.
