7:25pm: Big pairs on table 6
Table 6 continues to offer up big hands and action, even if a lot of the faces are new. Former EPT Grand Final champion Mohsin Charania has joined the table, but lost with a big pair, just before another newbie - Fintan Hand - won win a big pair.
Charania and Erik Olofsson had made it to the river of a board that read [kh][qc][tc][4s][5s]. The former checked from the blinds and called after the latter bet 18,000 from early position. Olofsson opened [ad][js] for a flopped straight bettering Charania's [kc][ks] for top set.
The very next hand saw Hand raise to 3,000 from the hijack and Peter Eichhardt defended his big blind. Both checked the [3d][ad][3s] flop before Eichhardt check-called 2,300 on the [qd] turn. The board completed with the [ac] and both players checked. Hand opened [qc][qh] and scooped with his full house.
Mohsin Charania, 57,000
Erik Olofsson, 78,000
Fintan Hand, 70,000
Peter Eichhardt, 56,000
Ranno Sootla - 195,000
Chris Dowling - 18,700

5:40pm: Defending champion still in
Level 9: Blinds 500-1,000, 100 ante
There's been a few good UKIPT title defences in Dublin on the UKIPT and Kevin Killeen, who triumphed last time the tour was in town, is still going strong on Day 1A this time round. He's got about 28,000. After he won his UKIPT title he moved to Mexico but is back in Ireland at the moment.
"Living here at the moment, I'll stay here to after the Irish Open at least," he told us. "After that probably Vegas and then maybe back to Mexico. We'll see."
As reported below the other UKIPT Main Event winners in the field today - Nick Abou Risk and Josh Hart - are both out. However, we do still have an EPT champion in the field in the shape of Mohsin Charania. He's got around 71,000. -- NW

5:30pm: There's a new chippie in town as Abou Risks busts
Level 9: Blinds 500-1,000, 100 ante
Nick Abou Risk will not become a three-time UKIPT champion in his hometown after he busted in a big pot that made Ranno Sootla the (likely) new chip leader.
Sootla told the blog that Abou Risk raised from under the gun and he defended his big blind to head to a [k][j][5] flop that contained two hearts. A four landed on the turn and Sootla bet 18,000 (into what he thought was 23k) and called when Abou Risk shoved for 30,000.
Sootla opened king-jack and survived a blank river against Abou Risk's ace-king.
Ranno Sootla, 160,000
Nick Abou Risk, eliminated
-- MC
5:15pm: Cody can't stop the rot
Level 9: Blinds 500-1,000, 100 ante
At the very end of level eight we lost Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody. Sadly for him is stack only went in one direction today. Still he's got the chance to bounce back tomorrow - literally - as he's going to be taking part in the Dodgeball Trampolining.
Gg either ran into it a lot or got run over #UKIPTDublin

5pm: End of the road for Ruzzi
Level 9: Blinds 500-1,000, 100 ante
I arrived at the table to see the cards already on their backs, it was Matias Ruzzi who was all in, the Argentinian had [Ah][Js] whilst Amgd Nadr had [As][Qc].
The [6c][7h][6s][Kh][Qh] board eliminated Ruzzi and boosted Nadr to 70,000. --NW
