Brendan O'Halloran opened the betting with a raise to 2,200. Edgar Amundsen called from the small blind before Colm Chan shoved for 12,300 from the big.
O'Halloran hit the tank for nearly a minute before folding, but Amundsen called fairly quickly. It was 
for Chan versus 
for Amundsen. The board of 
ran out well for Amundsen, and he chipped up to around 60,000.
The Flipout event is still going strong, with 11 starting rounds so far. That puts more the €2,000 into the pool for the winner-takes-all event. The final field is still being set as they are still looking for a 12th round.
The final chance to book a seat in Day just put cards in the air. There are 36 entries to start, and while they start with the same 30,000 chips as Days 1a and 1b, they'll use those chips in 20 minute levels instead of the one hour levels of the previous days. The field in Day 1c has also pushed the prize pool over the €250,000 guarantee. Currently, there is €253,000 in the pool, but that will only grow as Day 1c fills up.
Level: 8
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
It folded to Padraig O'Neill in the small blind, and he limped. Samuel Baneham checked his option from the big, and the flop came 
. O'Neill check-called the bet of 1,600 after a bit of a tank.
Both players checked the 
turn and 
river, and Baneham mucked his hand when he saw 
in O'Neill's hand.
