Action was folded to Mitchell Hynam on the button who opened to 100,000, with Jamie Flynn defending his big blind.
Flynn check-called a bet of 80,000 from Hynam on the flop of 8♥7♥J♦.
The 8♦ turn was checked through by both players.
On the 10♠ turn Flynn checked to Hynam, who put out a bet of 220,000. After some thought Flynn called. Hynam turned over Q♥9♥ for a rivered straight and Flynn mucked his hand.

Several T-100,000 chips were already in the pot when Gunnar Wedde's 825,000 remaining chips went in from early position on the J♦6♦3♣10♣ turn. His opponent was Marc MacDonnell, who had the covering stack and looked him up.
Gunnar Wedde: A♥A♣
Marc MacDonnell: Q♦3♦
Wedde was in the lead with his overpair, but MacDonnell had a pair and a flush draw for outs on the river. The 8♦ fell on the river and Wedde let out a groan as MacDonnell's flush draw came in.
He had no option but to collect his payout while MacDonnell soared in the ranks and grabbed the chip lead with a stack of more than 100 big blinds.

Action folded to Ivan Tononi on the button, who opened to 90,000. Kieran Lynch was in the small blind and produced a small three-bet to 200,000.
Tononi almost immediately four-bet all-in for a further 1,300,000, which covered Lynch. Lynch let out an expletive as Tononi's chips made their way into the middle, and after some further consideration, Lynch folded.

Emmett Scott opened in early position and was faced with a three-bet jam from Day 1c chip leader Stephen Henderson to 375,000. Scott made the quick call to put Henderson at risk.
Stephen Henderson: A♠8♥
Emmett Scott: K♠K♦
Henderson needed to find an ace and the 5♦J♠K♣ flop left his hopes hanging by a thread. The J♦ turn confirmed his fate giving Scott the full house and sending Henderson to the rail after the Q♦ river.

Adrian O'Donoghue open-jammed his final 210,000 chips from the hijack. Joseph Mullen sat in the button and asked for a count before rejamming, causing the other players to get out of the way.
Adrian O'Donoghue: Q♣9♦
Joseph Mullen: A♠A♥
It was a tall task for O'Donoghue and one he would not complete when he was drawing dead after the turn on the 3♥5♦2♣7♥10♦ runout. O'Donoghue pocketed €1,800 for his Main Event run, which finished in 38th place.
