Declan Rice Eliminated In 2nd Place (€228,700)
After 50-minutes of heads-up play, Declan Rice shoved all in from the button for 6,375,000, which was around seven big blinds. David Docherty called in the big blind and players flipped their cards. Rice was the short stacked player and so he was at risk of elimination.

David Docherty: 
The board ran out 
. Rice hit a deuce on the flop, which brought cheers and gasps from players on the rail.
The river double-paired the board and counterfeited Rice's hand, giving Docherty two pair with the king high. Again, audible gasps sounded out from around the room.
Docherty threw his hands up in the air with a huge grin on his face, the thrill of the moment overcoming him as it sank in that he had just won the €1,150 Irish Open Main Event.
Declan Rice was eliminated in second place for €228,700.
