Thomas Gallagher opened up from late position and Ronan Gilligan called from the big blind.
Gallagher fired out a continuation bet of 250,000 after the flop came and got a call from his opponent. Gallagher then bet 500,000 after the appeared on the turn and Gilligan once again called.
The completed the board on the river and Gallagher declared himself all in for 1,750,000, which covered his opponent. Gilligan tanked for several minutes.
"That was the sickest card ever," said Gilligan with a look of disgust on his face.
He then said, "I think I am too big of a fish to fold," before speculating that his opponent had ace-king or ace-queen for the full house.
Gilligan eventually called, mucked his hand, and was eliminated in 10th place for �4,750 after Gallagher turned over for the full house.
After the hand, the unofficial nine-handed final table which will be streamed under the Live Stream tab in our coverage began.
