Henri Ojala Eliminated During Hand-For-Hand Play; Splits Prize Money With Cunningham and Kirwan
Nível 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On the stone bubble, Henri Ojala got his final 130,000 chips from the hijack against Stephen Groom in the cutoff.
Henri Ojala: 8♥8♠ 
Stephen Groom: Q♥Q♦
The flop of 7♣9♦6♦ gave Ojala a straight draw, but the 6♥ turn brought him no help. Groom made the better full house with the 6♠ on the river and Ojala was eliminated on the bubble of the Irish Open Main Event after making the final table last year.
Luckily for him, Sean Cunningham and Gary Kirwan busted simultaneously on different tables, resulting in the three players sharing two min-cashes, resulting in €1,173 awarded to each player.

Record-Breaking Irish Open Main Event Moves Onto Bubble-Bursting Day 2
The 2024 Irish Open €1,150 Main Event blew all records out of the water. The total entry count of 3,233 crushed the previous record of 2,491 that was set in 2023. This amazing turnout amassed a staggering prize pool of €3,152,175. This money will be divided among a portion of the 743 players who survived one of the four starting flights and return today at noon local time to the Royal Dublin Society for Day 2, although the exact payouts have not been announced at the time of writing.
The bubble is set to take place today, however, and Dutchman Henk Pol will be looking forward to that stage of the tournament as he managed to grab the overall chip lead, managing to bag 426,500 chips on the massive Day 1c. Not much is known about Pol, who only has a few recorded live cashes in his home region. Meanwhile, Simon Maher was the best-performing Irishman and will start with 415,000 chips to his name. The only other player who accumulated more than 100 big blinds is Samuel Goodman, who returns with 411,500 chips in his bag.

Play will restart in Level 15: 2,000/4,000 with a 4,000 big blind ante. All levels will be 60 minutes in length from here on out, and eight of them will be played on Day 2, ending with blinds at 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 big blind ante. With a 20-minute break after every two levels, play is expected to conclude around 9 p.m. local time, promising an early night for those who survive. There will also be a cards-up live stream hosted on the PokerStars Twitch and YouTube channels, which operates on a 30-minute delay.
Stay tuned as PokerNews will be providing all of the exciting action of Day 2 of the Irish Open Main Event.
