Main Event entries have crept up to 38 so far, including 2019 Irish Open Seniors champion JJ Hazan - whom it's particularly good to see back at the felt, after he almost died from covid earlier in the year. Now fully recovered, he's taken an early lead at his table after raising with 10 6 and hitting a 3-4-6 flop with two spades on it. He rivered the flush while his opponent could only manage a straight, and now has a modest lead of 40k and is threatening to do his impressions of Boris Johnson and Margaret Thatcher for our entertainment later.
