Thomas Murphy opened to 1,500 from early position and received calls from Emad Aghasi in the next seat and Shane O’Reilly in the big blind.

The Kd7d5d flop was checked through. On the Ac turn, action was checked to Aghasi, who fired out a bet of 2,500. O’Reilly called, before Murphy produced a check-raise to 8,000. Aghasi called and O’Reilly got out of the way.

The 8c river completed the board, and after quite a bit of thought, Murphy slid out a bet of 11,000, with Aghasi making the quick call. Murphy tabled AdQs for a pair of aces, but Aghasi had got there on the river with Ah8h for two pair.

Emad Agahsi – 110,000 (183 bb)
Thomas Murphy – 29,000 (48 bb)
Shane O’Reilly – 14,000 (23 bb)

The players have been sent on their first 20-minute break of the day, with all 15 current entrants still seated.

The following players top the chip counts:-

1. Janos Jeszek – 90,000 (150 bb)
2. Vaeceslav Jumir – 70,000 (116 bb)
3. Robertas Gludkinas – 70,000 (116 bb)
4. Chris Rourke – 68,000 (113 bb)
5. Emad Aghasi – 68,000 (113 bb)

Shane O’Reilly opened to 1,100 from early position, and received a call from Janos Jeszek in the small blind.

The Ac9c7h flop was checked through. On the Kh turn, Jeszek led out with a bet of 1,600, and O’Reilly called.

The 5c river completed the board and was checked through. Jeszek sheepishly turned over 6h5h for a pair of fives, but that was good enough, forcing O’Reilly to muck his hand with a rueful smile.

Janos Jeszek – 80,000 (200 bb)
Shane O’Reilly – 28,000 (140 bb)

Emad Aghasi opened to 500 from the cutoff, and received calls from Tadeuz Gogolka on the button and Shane O’Reilly in the small blind.

The Tc4c4d flop is checked through. On the Kh turn, action was checked to Aghasi, who fired out a bet of 1,200, which only Gogolka called.

The 5h heart river completed the board, and Aghasi check-folded versus a slight overbet bet of 5,000 from Gogolka.

Taduez Gogloka – 55,000 (275 bb)
Emad Aghasi – 65,000 (325 bb)

Chris Rourke opened to 500 and Vaeceslav Jumir defended the big blind.

The 6d2s2c flop and Ad turn are checked through. On the Qh river, Jumir leads out with a bet of 600, and is faced with a prompt raise to 3,000 by Rourke, with Jumir making the quick call.

Jumir is shown the bad news when Rourke flips over 2h2d for flopped quad deuces, and Rourke rakes in another pot.

Chris Rourke – 65,000 (302 bb)
Vaeceslav Jumir – 48,000 (240 bb)

On a board of Tc2hTh3c, with around 5,000 in the middle, Chris Rourke checked to Kryzsztof Gogloka, who fired out a bet of 1,500. Veaceslav Jumir called on the button, as does Rourke.

The 8s river completed the board, and action is checked to Jumir. He fired out a bet of 4,000, with Rourke making a quick call. Gogolka takes some time to think but disposes of his hand.

Jumir confidently tabled 9d9h for two pair, tens and nines, but Rourke had KsTh for trip tens, and he scooped a decent early pot.
