Andy Hall, when the short stack ahead of him moves all in, Andy looks down at Ace queen and moves all in.

His opponent has pocket 7"s but Andy makes the straight and gets almost a full double up.

He is now on around 120k - about average.

Emmett Davis has just doubled up through Steven Schiltz.

Emmet shoves QJos from the button and Steven snap calls with pocket aces.

The board runs out 9TJ 3 K for the rivered straight.

[Luthee13]

Players starting to bag their chips up, that is it for today!

All that players can do now is go off and prepare themselves for returning tomorrow, midday, where they will play the tournament to completion and someone will be crowned Irish Amateur Poker Champion 2016.

Current reigning champion, Robert Blaauwgeers, is still in and has bagged up a healthy looking stack...but with 38 players returning, there is still a long way to go.

We will be back tomorrow too.
