On the very last hand before the break, the action folded around to Antonio Esfandiari who raised it up from the small blind with 
. Jerome Bradpiece pushed all in from the big blind with , Esfandiari called, and the board bricked out.
Speaking to Bradpiece after the hand, he suggested that there was a little bit of last-hand psychology in play, as the table were pretty much getting their coats on to disperse for the break as the hand was playing out.
The players are now on a 20-minute break.

Irish Open winner James Mitchell has been eliminated after getting it in on a 
board with but ran into the big blind's flopped two pair holding of 
.
John Tabatabai opened with a mini-raise to 400 from middle position, and Martin Kabrhel three-bet it up to 1,150 from the button. In the big blind, Manig Loeser squeezed his cards and then squeezed all 5,775 of his chips into the pot to put himself all in. Tabatabai quickly folded, but Kabrhel took about twenty seconds to consider before plunking the calling chips into the pot.
Showdown
Kabrhel: 
Loeser: 
"You were thinking about folding?!" Loeser asked, a bit miffed. Kabrhel didn't understand, but later he answered, "Yes, it's possible to fold." Loeser seemed content, or at least indifferent by that time.
He'd grow much more content when the dealer ran out the board, too. It came 
to hold his pocket pair and double him up well over 10,000. Kabrhel is back down below his starting stack with 2,900 now.
After a surprisingly slow start, they're dropping like lemmings on a tightrope now, and we could easily make that 30-man target before the end of level 10.
The latest player to lose balance was Jamie Burland, the Brighton UKIPT Champion three-bet shoving with pocket eights, but being looked up by ace-queen.
So, it was off to the races for Burland, but despite an innocent-looking flop and turn, a lady arrived on the river to spoil his day.
