After three starting days and the following Day 2, a total of 21 levels, the 2018 Unibet Open Dublin €1,100 Main Event has been whittled down to the last 11 hopefuls, all looking for their first title on the popular European mid-stakes tournament series. The guaranteed prize pool of €250,000 was easily surpassed with 359 entries and the lion's share of the €359,000 prize pool is still up for grabs when the action gets back underway at noon local time at the Bonnington Hotel in Dublin.
Michael Brock thrones at the top of the counts with a stack of 1,480,000, but it's far from a done deal for the Brit to claim the top prize of €74,900, as several players are not far behind. Second in chips is Joseph Ellis with 1,230,000 and a quintet follows, separated by just a few big blinds including Robbie McCormack (1,145,000), Keith Brennan (1,125,000), David Schable (1,110,000), Paul Jux Holderness (1,080,000) and Henri Koivisto (1,050,000).
Irish poker legend Mick McCloskey, who can always be found at the poker tables with his trademark cap containing pins from all over the world, is also among the 11 finalists and will enter the final day with a stack of 955,000. Furthermore, Julien Kron (810,000), 2014 Irish Open champion Patrick Clarke (575,000) and Jakub Groblewski (315,000) also remain in contention.

Outer Table
Henri Koivisto has come out roaring with aggression over on the outer table and raised several hands in a row. He claimed the blinds and antes in the first attempt and then faced a three-bet by Michael Brock in the big blind when making it 60,000 to go. Brock three-bet to 155,000 and Koivisto was having none of it, four-betting all in to force an instant fold.

flop, Brock checked and called a bet of 55,000, then check-folded the 
turn to a second barrel of 160,000 by Koivisto.
