A shove on the button by Demitiri Pembroke was called in the big blind by Jonathan Slater. Pembroke had his hand seemingly caught in the cookie jar as he tabled 
versus the 
of Slater, but a board of 
meant Pembroke dodged the flush draw on the flop and one with two pair.

It's become a bit of a preflop war of attrition at the moment, there's barely been a flop on either table in the last ten minutes. Max Silver opened to 48,000 preflop from middle position before Benjamin Spragg made it 104,000 in the big blind. Silver slid out a big stack of 25k chips and said, "All in," and Spragg didn't take much time in folding.
Nível: 24
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 4,000
Benjamin Spragg appears to be getting irritated by the player to his left, Jonathan Slater. A few times now Spragg has opened to 52,000 on to face a raise from Slater that made him lay his hand down. “Always with the raises.” Commented Spragg who is not averse to a raise himself, but his stack now leaves him little wriggle room. “You will be punished in time.” Spragg continues. “Maybe not by me, but you will be punished.
Over at the feature table, action folded to local player Christy Morkan on the button and he raised to 55,000. Barry Donovan was in the small blind and thought for a few moments before announcing that he was all in. The big blind folded and then Morkan snap-called.
Morkan: 
Donovan: 
Donovan realized he had picked a bad spot even before the cards were turned over. That said, he could still win with a king or some hearts. The 
flop contained only one of the latter, while the 
turn took away that possibility altogether. In order to stay alive in the Full Tilt Poker UKIPT Galway Main Event Donovan would need a king on the river, but he was left wanting as the useless peeled off.

Mark Spelman opened for 51,000 and Silver called from the big blind. The flop was 
Silver checked and Spelman continued for 63,000. Silver called. The turn was the 
and both players checked. The 
came on the river, and when both players checked Silver said optimistically “Five?”
Spelman tabled the 
for top pair and was good. “I was sure I was good there.” Silverman said.
The next hand folded around to Silver in the small blind and he raised to 62,000. Perhaps suspecting he was at it after the last hand, Tim Michels in the big blind raised to 127,000. Silver cut out some chips and raised him right back, a total of 250,000. Whether Michels had a real hand we’ll never know as he laid it down.
It appeared action folded to Christy Morkan in the small blind and that he shoved to put the pressure on Euan Cameron in the big. We think Cameron called off for 240,000 or so, but either way he was all in and at risk.
Cameron:
Morkan: 
Thanks to his kicker, Cameron was a big favorite. In fact, according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Cameron had a 72.31% chance of doubling on the hand. The flop paired his queen and brought his chances up to 81.92%, but it also gave Morkan a gutshot straight draw to Broadway, which he'd hit 16.97% of the time.
Much to Cameron's dismay, the 
on the turn gave Morkan the said flush and a 75% chance of winning. Cameron was none too pleased, but the good news was that it was a club, meaning he had picked up a flush draw. He could also chop with a jack on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
, the last card Cameron would see before taking his leave in 16th place.
