They're down to our final six players for the €2,000 High Roller Final Table with One Re-Entry.

London-based Chris Day has the clear chip lead ahead of Scot Kyle Maguire while former UKIPT winner Sergio Aido and Full Tilt Ambassador Dermot Balin are also in the mix.

PokerNews is happy to report that we have seen no such outrageous behaviour at the Full Tilt Festival in Galway.
There is an atmosphere of quiet concentration, no trash talk or berating of any plays. Sure, people are talking about what hands people might have had, but little beyond the usual probing for information that can be expected at any poker table.
It will come as no surprise that the chattiest table seems to be the feature table where Barny Boatman is holding court, but all around the room a wide mix of players are enjoying the game, respecting the dealers and each other.
