Shane O’Reilly was all-in for around 120,000 and at risk versus Veaceslav Jumir.

Shane O’Reilly: Js9s
Veaceslav Jumir:AsQh

O’Reilly needed some help from the board, and although he went ahead after the KdJh6s flop, the Ts turn gave Jumir the nut straight. O’Reilly still had outs to the flush draw, but the Tc river was a brick, sending O’Reilly to the rail in eighth place.

Neil Higgins also departed shortly after, having been left short-stacked after his ace-king lost a race to Murtagh Ward’s pocket tens. His remaining stack also went to Jumir after his king-six was bested by Jumir’s ace-nine. We are now on the bubble.

Veaceslav Jumir – 440,000 (55 bb)
Shane O’Reilly – eliminated
Neil Higgins – eliminated

Adrian Thorne opened to 16,000, only to be faced with a three-bet jam to 107,000 by Chris Dowling in the cutoff. JP McCann cold-called on the button, and Thorne got out of the way.

Chris Dowling: 5h5d
JP McCann: As7s

Dowling was ahead in a race, and although he had a sweat after the 9s8h6c flop gave McCann an up and down draw, the Kd turn and Qd river were bricks to send Dowling the double-up.

Chris Dowling – 224,000 (28 bb)
JP McCann – 550,000 (68 bb)

Action folded to JP McCann in the small blind, who raised to 20,000. Gedas Bartkus was in the big blind and he moved all in for 39,000, with McCann making the quick call for not much more.

Gedas Bartkus – AhJs
JP McCann – Qs9c

Bartkus was ahead and his double-up was confirmed by the 6c6h4dAc5h runout.

Gedas Bartkus – 98,000 (12 bb)
JP McCann – 650,000 (81 bb)

JP McCann has upped the tempo here and is leveraging his stack to apply pressure on his opponents.

Having taken a couple of small pots, he calls versus Chris Dowling’s open to 12,000, with Shane O’Reilly coming along for the ride in the big blind.

The 7d6c3c flop is checked to McCann, who fired out a bet of 30,000. Only O’Reilly called.

On the Ad turn, O’Reilly is forced to check-fold versus a bet of 200,000 from McCann.

JP McCann – 720,000 (90 bb)
Shane O’Reilly – 140,000 (17 bb)

Adrian Thorne opened to 12,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 68,000 from Tomas Geleziunas in the small blind, who had left himself around 60,000 behind.

Action folded back to Thorne, who moved all in with the covering stack, with Geleziunas making the quick call.

Tomas Geleziunas: JhJc
Adrian Thorne: AhAs

Geleziunas was in trouble versus Thorne’s rockets, and he remained behind after the Kd8d2d flop. He picked up chop possibilities on the 4d turn, but the 5s river was a brick, sending Geleziunas to the rail as the first player to depart the final table.

Adrian Thorne – 410,000 (68 bb)
Tomas Geleziunas – eliminated

Veaceslav Jumir opened to 16,000 from the button and Tomas Geleziunas defended the big blind.

The 9c6d3d flop was checked through. On the 8c turn, Geleziunas led out with a bet of 35,000, which failed to shake off Jumir.

The 2d river completed the board, and Geleziunas moved all in with the covering stack, sending Jumir into the tank.

After close to three minutes of thought, Jumir made the call. Gelezinuas tabled 7s4s for seven-high, having missed his draw, while Jumir had AdTs, finding a superb river hero call with only ace-high for his tournament life.

Veaceslav Jumir – 286,000 (47 bb)
Tomas Geleziunas – 125,000 (20 bb)

Around 165,000 was in the middle on a completed board of KdTd5c2d5d, in a hand between Adrian Thorne in the cutoff and JP McCann in the small blind, the top two at the start of the final table.

McCann led out on the river with a bet of 60,000, and after some thought, Thorne made the call, albeit seemingly reluctantly.

McCann tabled Ad9d for the turned nut flush, and Thorne tapped the table and mucked his hand.

The players have now been sent on a 15-minute break.

JP McCann – 615,800 (123 bb)
Adrian Thorne – 296,000 (59 bb)

Veaceslav Jumir: JdJc
Greg Larkin: 8s8c

Jumir looked in good shape for the double-up with the overpair jacks, and it was confirmed by the Kd9h7s9s7c runout.

Veaceslav Jumir – 149,500 (29 bb)
Greg Larkin – 30,000 (6 bb)

Thomas McAllister was all-in for around 90,000 and at risk versus JP McCann.

Thomas McAllister: AsJh
JP McCann: KhKc

McAllister was in trouble with only one overcard versus McCann’s cowboys, and although he flopped top pair on the Jc3s2c flop, he could not find the ace or jack he needed on the Qh turn and 7s river.
