Beg Hits Flop Big

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Apostol Virgil Beg
Apostol Virgil Beg

Apostol Virgil Beg started things off with a bet to 3,500 from early position in Day 1b action. It folded to John Dwyer in the big blind, and he called.

The heads up flop came {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and it checked around. Beg bet 6,000 after a check from Dwyer on the {4-Hearts} turn, but Dwyer check-raised to 17,000.

After a few seconds in the tank, Beg called, and the {5-Diamonds} river went check-check. Beg showed down {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for flopped trips, and Dwyer mucked his hand.

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

2020 Unibet Open Dublin

Day 1c registration has just closed as the first break comes to an end. Day 1c saw a total of 77 entries, and combined with the 134 from Day 1b and the 83 from Day 1a, that brings the total entries to 294. That means they'll be playing for €294,000 total prize pool.

The payouts will be worked out shortly, but they are still playing down to find out how many players will make Day 2. Currently Day 1b has 47 remaining, while Day 1c has 66 players still at the felt.

There are about 30 minutes left to play in Day 1b, while Day 1c should finish in about an hour.

Blinds are at 200/500/500 in Level 5 of Day 1c, and Rokas Barzdzius opened to 1,200 from middle position. Augusto Evangelisti called from his left but Ylva Thorsrud came over top with a raise to 4,700. Barzdzius folded fairly quickly, but it took Evangelisti a bit longer to reach the same decision.

Day 1c currently has 72 total entries with 65 stacks still in play, while Day 1b has 55 left out of the original 134. The total prize pool is now up to €289,000.

2020 Unibet Open Dublin

Brendan O'Halloran opened the betting with a raise to 2,200. Edgar Amundsen called from the small blind before Colm Chan shoved for 12,300 from the big.

O'Halloran hit the tank for nearly a minute before folding, but Amundsen called fairly quickly. It was {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for Chan versus {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for Amundsen. The board of {10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs} ran out well for Amundsen, and he chipped up to around 60,000.

Side Event Action Today

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Fri Feb 28th Schedule
Fri Feb 28th Schedule

The satellite to the Main Event is already underway, and with registration closed they got 69 runners with 42 stacks still in play. That means there are 9 tickets up for grabs, with €450 left over for 10th place.

In addition to the satellite, there will be a €30 Flipout starting at 8PM, just an hour before the turbo Day 1c gets going at 9PM. For the night owls, a €110 Hyper-Turbo starts at 10PM, so there's plenty of poker to keep players happy through the day today.
