On a flop of A♥6♦6♥, Brian Battistone bet 2,500 from early position and was met by a raise to 15,000 from Alan Mustafa on the button. Battistone then raised enough to put Mustafa all in. Mustafa snap-called and the cards were revealed.

Alan Mustafa: A♠9♥ All in
Brian Battistone: K♥Q♥

Battistone found the help he needed on the 8♥ turn, improving to a flush. There was no miracle on the river for Mustafa as the 2♠ came and he was sent to rail.

Domenico Paparo opened to 5,000 from early position and was called by Manuel De Sousa from the hijack. The 2024 Irish Open Main Event Champion, Tero Laurila, three-bet to 25,000 from the cutoff, which folded out the button and the blinds. Paparo called ahead of De Sousa returning his cards to the dealer.

On the A♦J♣8♦ flop, Paparo check-raised to 30,000 over a bet of 15,000. Laurila quickly moved all in as the bigger stack, and Paparo called off the 40,000 more he had behind.

Domenico Paparo: A♥K♣ All in
Tero Laurila: J♠8♠

Paparo had top pair, top kicker, but was behind Laurila's two pair. The 9♣ turn was no help to Paparo, who departed after Laurila improved to a full house on the J♥ river.

Joel Casanovas opened to 5,000 from the hijack before Francisco Martin Romo moved all in for 31,000 from the cutoff. Action was on Kevin Kent in the small blind, but Casanovas had a lapse in concentration and folded out of turn. With that, Kent called, and Casanovas folded his hand when it was his turn to act.

Romo had A♦Q♦ and was flipping against 9♣9♦. The board ran out with the 7♥5♥4♠8♦7♠ and Romo was ejected.

Casanovas was then given a two-hand penalty for his error, but he had no complaints and the next hand got underway.

Ali Afshar and Jose Serra committed the last of their chips preflop with Yalcin Aslan making the call to put them both at risk.

Ali Afshar: Q♦10♦ All in
Jose Serra: A♠Q♠ All in
Yalcin Aslan: K♣K♠

The flop came 7♠5♦10♠ to give Afshar and Serra some extra outs to stay alive. The Q♥ on the turn put Afshar ahead with two pair. The J♦ hit the river, meaning Afshar would triple up with two pair, queens and tens, while Serra was sent to the rail as he lost the side pot to Aslan's pocket kings

Mikael Darwich opened 5,000 in the cutoff before Francisco Izquierdo three-bet 17,000 from the small blind. Ignacio Cuesta jammed for roughly 60,000 from the big blind, putting Darwich in the tank. After giving it some thought, he tossed his cards into the muck and Izquierdo made the call.

Ignacio Cuesta: A♣K♦ All in
Francisco Izquierdo: J♠J♣

It was the classic race as the dealer spread the flop of J♦10♠2♦, giving Izquierdo a set of jacks. The Q♥ fell on the turn, improving Cuesta to Broadway as he gained the lead but the J♥ river gave Izquierdo quads, sending Cuesta to the rail.
