2007 Irish Open champion Marty Smyth’s quest to claim a second major title in Ireland this year has come to and end.  He pushed all-in short stacked only for the player sitting to his left to pick up Aces.  the board changed nothing and Marty was sent to the rail.

That leaves Danny McHugh as the only 2007 Irish Open final tablist left in the tournament after Roland De Wolfe’s early exit.

John Magill, who earned a million dollar payday at the 2006 WSOP Main Event, was another early casualty. Annette Obrestad has yet to make a charge and is still hovering around the starting stack.

Juha Helpi, Kevin O’Connell and Surindar Sunar have all started promisingly and are well above the chip average as the players enter the dinner break.
