Just before the break, Irish online satellite wiz and Chip Race podcast maestro Dara O'Kearney bumped his stack up to 28,000 in a hand that started three-way and ended with Robert Bull running two pair into a flush. Action started slowly, with a check-round on the {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop.

On the {4-Clubs} turn, Kevin Smith check-folded to O'Kearney's 1,000 bet (small blind and big blind respectively), while Bull made the call. The river brought the {8-Hearts} and another lead from O'Kearney, this time for 3,000. Bull called, announcing, "Two pair," again, but O'Kearney's {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flush won the hand.

O'Kearney, bedecked in an elaborately floral shirt, has only recently qualified age-wise for the Seniors event and is already stacking chips in the aptly-named Silver Section of the Brasilia room.
