12:25pm: Dias the king of Dublin
Level 15 - Blinds: 1,500-3,000 (400 ante)
That's not quite true as Dublin is part of a republic, but Bernardo Dias is feeling king-like now after finding pocket kings to double up. The "president" of EPT Dublin doesn't get installed until Saturday anyway.
The high-rolling Christoph Vogelsang opened from under the gun with pocket queens and made a quick call after Dias moved all in for around 65,000 with his kings. The board ran out [8s][5d][ad][6h][5s] and Vogelsang quietly paid his dues and dropped to 189,000. --MC
12:20pm: Dzelinquent Dzmitry
Level 15 - Blinds 1,500-3,000 (300 ante)
At last the EPT11 Player of the Year has arrived -- only about 10 minutes after the start. That's everyone accounted for now, as Level 15 continues. --MH
12:19pm: Side-event crushers
It's not only about the Main Event here in Dublin this week and some big names and local heroes have been crushing the side-event schedule. Have a quick spin through our side-event review. --HS
12:13pm: Where's Urbanovich?
Level 15 - Blinds 1,500-3,000 (300 ante)
All I know is that if I were playing in an event with a €5,300 buy-in and €561,900 for first, I wouldn't want to turn up late for fear of missing a hand. I think most people feel that way.
Dzmitry Urbanovich is not like most people.
His bag is open and his chips are out (so the dealer can put his blinds in), but he's not yet arrived for Day 2. Funny thing is, I saw him at the hotel this morning up and about, so at least we know he's not forgotten to set his alarm.
Urbanovich might not like what he sees when he does eventually appear -- he's got what most people would consider a brutal table, hosting Steve O'Dwyer, Jude Ainsworth, Alex Goulder, and Ben Heath.
Then again, Urbanovich is not like most people.
We'll let you know when he shows! He starts the day with 67,000. --JS
12:09pm: Pezelj the first player out today
Level 15 - Blinds: 1,500-3,000 (400 ante)
Ivica Pezelj could only giggle at the flop he was faced with after moving all in and getting called.
Nikolaus Teichert had opened and made the call after Pezelj went all in for around 27,000 from the big blind with [kc][js]. Teichert opened [ts][9s] and hit the nuts on the [6s][7s][8c] flop. The board ran out [qc][qh], Pezelj is out, and Teichert's stack jumped up to 140,000. --MC
12:01pm: Cards in the air
Level 15 - Blinds 1,500-3,000 (400 ante)
Day 3 of the EPT Dublin Main Event has begun. The tournament now moves to 90-minute levels, with five levels scheduled to be played today.
With 127 players left, that means they are 40 eliminations away from the bubble bursting. A min-cash is €9,100, while all who remain continue to eye the €561,900 up top due to go to the winner. --MH
11:45am: Chasing Banic
Day 3 of the EPT Dublin Main Event begins at noon and all eyes will be on Croatia's Ivan Banic. He is the man to chase with 381,000 chips.
There's a spectacular chasing pack. Have a look at how they line up at the start of the day on the seat-draw page. --HS
