Tomas Geleziunas opened to 120,000 in the cutoff and was met by a three-bet jam to 1,200,000 from Alan Kelleher in the big blind. Geleziunas made the quick call, slightly covering Kelleher.
Alan Kelleher: A♣5♣
Tomas Geleziunas: A♦K♠
Kelleher's ace was dominated by Geleziunas' ace-king, and Geleziunas improved further when he flopped the nuts straight on Q♠10♠J♥.
Kelleher was now left hoping for a king for a chopped pot but no help arrived on the J♦ turn and 4♦ river, sending him to the exit in 25th place.

Barry McMahon and Glenn Keogh were heads up on a board of 7♦10♦6♥2♣. A massive pot of 2,000,000 chips was already in the middle when Keogh bet 800,000 chips from the big blind, around half his stack.
McMahon responded by going all in with the covering stack, which sent Keogh into the tank. After asking if McMahon had flopped top set and not getting an answer, he put in the call for his tournament life.
Glenn Keogh: Q♣Q♦
Barry McMahon: K♠K♦
McMahon did not have a set but did have the higher overpair. The 10♣ river could not save Keogh, and he left the tournament area after the dealer made sure he was covered.

Shane O'Connell open-raised from under the gun and Kieran Lynch defended the big blind. The 5♣4♦10♠ flop was then checked by Lynch before O'Connell made a bet of 125,000. Lynch clicked it back to 250,000 and O'Connell called.
On the subsequent 9♣ turn, Lynch fired 375,000 more than half his stack. O'Connell put in the rest as well, and Lynch let out a few expletives before mucking his cards.
During the next hand, he would double back up to roughly 14 big blinds to stay in contention.

Picking the action up with stacks already in the middle and cards on their backs, Tomas Geleziunas was all-in and at risk against Barry McMahon.
Tomas Geleziunas: A♠Q♦
Barry McMahon: 9♣9♦
Geleziunas needed some help and had a straight draw after the 3♣J♦10♠ flop. The A♠ turn propelled him into the lead and the double up was secured when the K♣ rolled off on the river to give him the straight.
Charley Longfellow and Stephen Kehoe also exited the tournament on other tables, so 26 players remain in the Main Event.
