Filip's Kings Enough on Ace High Board

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante

Neil Higgins raised and Ultan Flynn reraised. Ioan Filip made the call and the original raiser folded. Two players went to the flop.

The dealer turned over {5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Flynn bet 2,000 and Filip called. The turn was the {j-Spades} and both players checked. On the {3-Hearts} river, both players once again checked.

Flynn showed {q-Hearts}{q-} for pocket queens and Filip showed {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} for pocket kings to win the pot.

Kassouf Is in the Building

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante
Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

The unmistakable sound of Will Kassouf's voice was heard in the halls of the Royal Dublin Society. When PokerNews arrived at his table, he was involved in what was reportedly a four-bet pot preflop.

The hand had progressed to the turn on a board of {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Kassouf had bet 9,600 chips from the big blind into a pot of 13,100. Stephen Kehoe was in the hijack and was visibly unhappy with the situation. Kassouf declared ''Ace-king is no good'', and that seemingly convinced Kehoe to lay his hand down.

By winning the hand Kassouf increased his stack to a total of over two starting stacks.

Barton Outkicks Macari

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante
Jason Barton
Jason Barton

Joseph Macari raised from middle position and was called by Jason Barton. All others folded and two players went to the flop.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Macari made it 600 to go. Barton was not deterred and made the call. The turn was the {3-Spades} and Macari bet out again for 1,600, which Barton called.

The river was the {2-Hearts}. Macari fired a third time and Barton made the call. Macari showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks and Barton showed {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for a pair of jacks with the ace kicker.

Roberts Tries to Get Georgiou

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante

There was 9,000 in the middle when George Shek from under the gun, Junior Roberts from early position, and Eftychios Georgiou from middle position saw a flop.

The dealer put out {5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} and the action checked to Georgiou, who bet 5,200. Shek got out of the way before Roberts made the call.

The {j-Diamonds} turn saw both players check and the {10-Spades} river graced the felt. Roberts eyed his opponent's stack and gave Georgiou a good staredown before putting in 9,000 chips.

Georgiou was seemingly in a difficult spot as he could only recount hands he could not beat. Still, he put in the call after a while and got shown that his {a-Hearts}{7-Spades} was good against Roberts' {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Hasson Has Not Increased His Stack Yet

Level 2 : Blinds 100/100, 0 ante

Ori Hasson has registered Day 1c after his first entry on Day 1b did not yield any results. In his latest effort to gather some extra chips he was on the button and called a raise to 200 from cutoff Enda Walsh.

The flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} checked through, and Hasson folded the {2-Clubs} turn to a bet of 800.

Evidently, this was not the first pot Hasson has lost today, as his stack also misses one of the T-5000 chips he started with.
