After a brutal beat in the earlier levels, Alex Lindop is back in with a chance having survived an all-in.
Mick Graydon has a big stack and has been applying the pressure. He was the one who called Lindop’s all in shove of 5,425.
Graydon tabled 
and Lindop was in good shape with 
The board ran out 
and Lindop could breathe a sigh of relief.
A little over an hour ago Event #46 of the Full Tilt Poker Galway Festival kicked off. That tournament is a €100 + €20 + €10 No-Limit Hold'em Charity Event Championship designed to help raise money for local charities. Whatever is raised will be matched by Full Tilt Poker, so it's no surprise to see some big names turn out for the fun including Gus Hansen, poker commentating legend Jesse May, Padraig Parkinson and FTP Ambassadors Ben Jenkins and Martins Adeniya.
It looks like the participants are having a good time laughing and driving the action. We'll do our best to sneak in some updates from that event as the tournament progresses.

Martin Stausholm had moved all in for his last 11,000 or so on the river of a 
board against Ben Warrington with 15,000 already in the middle. Warrington thought for several minutes, finally making the call only for Stausholm to show 
for a missed gutshot that had backdoored into trips, beating Warrington's .
"Nice miracle," said Warrington glumly.

It’s been a busy week for Gus Hansen at the Full Tilt Poker UKIPT Galway Festival. We already told you how he won Event #8 €1,000+€100 UK vs. Ireland Heads-Up Championship, and on Tuesday — just a day before the €2,000 UKIPT High Roller — Hansen was back in the spotlight when he took a stab at the €35+€5 Daily Grind and ultimately finished in second place.
Hansen’s presence in Galway has not gone unnoticed. He’s been signing autographs and taking pictures with fans all week, and it’s safe to say that he is a bit of a celebrity in Ireland, especially after winning the UK vs. Ireland Heads-Up Championship as an honorary Irishman. He’s so beloved that he even accepted the keys to the city from Mayor Padraig Conneely.

Three levels are in the books and that means it's time for the first 20-minute break of the day. The players are headed to the restroom, bar and any other place that tickles their fancy. We'll be back shortly.
With just minutes to go before the first break, table ten saw a five way limped pot.
The flop was 
. The blinds checked and Jack Salter decided he would claim the pot with a bet of 1,500. He was called by Christopher Day but Mick Graydon was hiding in the small blind ready with a three bet to 3,200. Salter quickly got out of the way.
The action was back on Day who decided to get frisky with the old 4-bet to 6,800.
Without much hesitation Graydon slid forward a tower of all his high denomination chips. The bet was enough to put Day out of the tournament if he called and lost.
As Day thought, the twenty minute break was called and the rest of the players left them to it, not interested enough in the outcome to waste a precious minute.
Day’s headphones went into the bag at his side. A few more minutes ticked away. If he folds now he can still have the majority of the break and still be alive in the tournament.
With a sigh he pushed his cards towards the dealer.
“Please show the bluff?” Day asked Graydon.
Graydon showed the 
Day then retrieved his own cards from the dealer and turned over
Level upon level. At least they can both enjoy their break.

No luck for Kevin Williams, he bet 1,000 on the turn of a 
board only to be raised to 2,300 by Jan Przysucha. Williams called then checked the river and Przysucha set his opponent in for his last 4,400.
Williams rechecked his cards and looked on inexplicably before calling off his remaining chips.
Przysucha showed 
and that was enough to win him the pot.
