Matteo Di Persio pushed in his stack of 630,000 under the gun and was called by Luca Bernardi on the button.
Matteo Di Persio: 5♠5♣ 
Luca Bernardi: A♦K♦
Bernardi won the flip by making kings and deuces on the 10♥2♠K♥2♣8♠ board, spelling the end of Di Persio's run.
The action was joined as Miguel Coussement manoeuvred his stack of 1,600,000 into the middle preflop versus Daryl McAleenan.
Miguel Coussement: J♠J♣
Daryl McAleenan: K♠K♥
The K♣6♦8♣ flop saw McAleenan take an even more commanding lead, and the 10♠ turn had Coussement drawing dead.
Coussement did improve to a set of his own on the J♥ river, but it was too little, too late.
Level: 27
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 80,000
Panteleimon Pontos moved all in for 580,000, and Seamus Cahill called in the big blind, putting him at risk.
Panteleimon Pontos: A♣5♣
Seamus Cahill: A♠K♥
Pontos found himself dominated, but the 9♣3♥2♠4♦3♠ board saw him improve to a straight, earning him a full double up.
At the same time, on a neighbouring table, Joerg Schneegass was eliminated.
Ben Collins open-shoved his 580,000 chips in from middle position. Daniel Caffrey tossed in a call in the cutoff before the rest of the table got out of the way.
Ben Collins: A♠8♠
Daniel Caffrey: A♣K♣
Collins received no help on the 7♦10♣2♦J♣ flop and turn, and the 8♣ river completed Caffrey's flush to set Collins' elimination in stone.
Craig MacLeod moved all in from under the gun for 315,000, which only Marko Adam called on the button.
Craig MacLeod: Q♥10♥
Marko Adam: A♦J♠
The monotone 7♥K♥6♥ flop saw MacLeod immediately improve to a flush.
The 8♥ turn and 6♣ river completed the board, and MacLeod scooped in a double up.
Chris Johnson made it 120,000 in the hijack. 2016 Irish Open champion Dan Wilson fired a three-bet to 375,000 in the small blind, to which Johnson responded by moving all in for 1,760,000.
Wilson pondered his options for a little while before he called to put Johnson at risk.
Chris Johnson: A♠K♦
Dan Wilson: A♣Q♣
Johnson's Big Slick was in the lead, but Wilson flopped a royal flush draw on J♣6♠10♣ for a plethora of outs. The 8♠ turn added some more outs to Wilson's arsenal, and the K♥ river completed Broadway to secure the pot in Wilson's favor.
Wilson shipped the big pot, eliminating Johnson and chipping Wilson up to twice the average stack.
Meanwhile, Wilson's fellow Irish Open champion Steve O'Dwyer was seated next to him and had amassed a stack worth over 100 big blinds.
The action was joined as Iani Tulica was all in and at risk on a board of 3♠9♠8♣. One seat to his left, Joerg Schneegass was the player to have him at risk.
Iani Tulica: K♥K♦
Joerg Schneegass: A♥9♦
The 7♦ turn and 10♠ river completed the board, seeing Tulica double his stack.
Ashkan Ahmedov opened the action up from the hijack, raising to 120,000. Both Alessandro Predaroli, on the button, and Michael Hooper, in the big blind, called.
The action checked to Predaroli on the button, who placed a bet of 150,000. Hooper folded, but Ahmedov called.
Both players checked on the K♣ turn, and the dealer completed the board with the 5♠.
Once again, both players checked. Ahmedov flipped over A♦4♣, and Predaroli responded by tossing his cards towards the muck.
