GO PADRAIG GO GO GO!!!!!!

I hear he is taking Vegas quite seriously this year. Would be fantastic to see him take it down.

****ING COME ON IRELAND!!!!!!!!!!!

I have practically no idea what is going on at the WSOP this year as I have recently moved and have no BB as of yet, and work internet doesn't allow me to look up 'gambling' sites, so I hang off any info I get from here and Antesup.

Good to hear Padraig is doing well. Anyone got a prize structure?

Norwich Fan Rob

decent effort in field of over 2k players, be great to see him win it, seems like a nice chap.

Great chance now for a true legend of Irish poker. What a performance already to get through a 2,100-strong field. Atmosphere building tonight in the Rio as FT drew closer and closer. Mad Marty Wilson and his entire extended family cheerleading for the Irish at tableside along with Padraig's close pals Jesse May, Julian Gardner and Rory Liffey as well as myself, Dave and Niall O'C, Oscar, Leslie and Stephen McLean, Ivan Donaghy...

FT should be fun later today. Padraig is certain he's going to win. I've never seen him more focused, he's looking really fit and healthy, relaxed and confident, playing very aggressive poker, pulling all sorts of moves yet making some really disciplined laydowns, hopefully today is the day he will get the bracelet he deserves.

edit: the above is KP's half-pissed stream of Jack Daniels semi-consciousness, not Dave's. I always forget to log him out and me in when I turn on his laptop.

GOONYAGOODTHINGYA PADRAIG.

A perfect example of how to play the latter stages of a big tournament,I have been watching from halfway thru day 1 and he has had no double ups since then just a gradual accumulation of chips without any showdowns.(if ur not in a showdown u cant get knocked out).The only time his name was mentioned last night was when he lost with AK v QQ and he stil got there with enough chips.
The best FINISHER that Irish poker has ever seen WILL WIN THIS BRACELET

"Nothing in the worldcan take the place of persistence.Talent will not,nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.Genius will not,unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.Education will not;the world is full of educated derelicts.Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

I don't know how you got that from the post. The FT hasn't happened yet.

Lex

A bit misleading alright.....But "Will Win" in the future.
Final table resumes with 9 players with chips counts as per BigD's OP.

mewso

Yeah final table tonight at 10 approx. I think. Am I right Eoin was looking for people to drink with at 5 a.m.?? They are 8 hours behind are they not. Don't worry Eoin you can buy me as much drink as you please tomorrow night

BrokenArrows

no he hasnt
hes at the final table.
They finished the day and are resuming 2morro at 2pm vegas time

DeVore

I think this completes today. I think the previous poster was being a bit hasty with the results. I'm looking in the official press room to see what the latest is and I'll put it on Antesup.

DeV.

DeVore

God Damn it... why couldnt this be tomorrow. I arrive in Vegas tomorrow evening (their evening) so hopefully still in time to celebrate Padraigs win!

See you there Muso!

BigDragon

Bit of advice. If your looking for the current time in any major city in the world enter "time xxxxx" into google and the first result will be the local time ie time las vegas

BigDragon

Also CardPlayer sucks. Go to www.pokerwire.com and look for the "Event 27" in the drop down box and leave the page up. It updates automatically.

Fatboydim

Padraig... Do us proud. One of the nicest men in poker.

I am so sick not to be going.

loosecannon

thanks for the pokerwire link mate

so much nicer than that feckin cardplayer site who seem to have lost the plot this year in comparision to last year's good coverage

Man I just can't bleedin wait. Touch down 4.30 p.m. May well be only fit for sleep by then but hopefully the excitement and a bracelet for Padraig will keep me going.

NickyOD

Anyone know what the starting blind level will be for the final table. Padraig has the 3rd shortest stack so lets hope there's a lot of play.

CharlieAsh

oops............didnt check that first.

sorry

Last level increase was

The players returned from their break to increased blinds of 6K-12K, with a 2K ante.

Its pretty even. Im sure Padraig would have taken this situation coming into the FT

DeVore

Just posted that on antesup too. He's in great shape, good experience (he's been here before) and he's the best there imho.

I touch down at 3pm, I'll head straight to the Rio to check in. Where are you staying? I'll get a few hours head down and then hit the Tilted Kilt and the Press room.

Chris Birchby $916,000

This just makes me even sicker that i cant go over till next year. Anyone know has an Irishman won a bracelet since Noel Furlong??or even has there been any other Irish bracelet winner bar Furlong?

The final four played 4 hands, then decided to take a short unscheduled break. I suspect there is a deal being discussed.

I was wrong. Cardplayer is kicking Pokerwire's ar$e on this FT. :eek:

White Knight

Hand
97. Padraig Parkinson raises from the button and everyone folds.

RESPECT!!

IMO I would not be surprised if padraig initiated a deal to relieve pressure on the other players for his own advantage. I bet a very similar if not equal payout and they are playing for the bracelet. At time of unscheduled break stacks were:
Chris Birchby 916,000 7
Padraig Parkinson 881,000 5
Richard Toth 730,000 2
Mats Rahmn 663,000 3
-- --
Total chips in play: 3,189,000
Players remaining: 4
Average stack: 797,250

So I am guessing when the players are guaranteed $X payout they will loosen up and hence allowing padraig to go for the coveted bracelet he wants!

DeVore

I dunno, hard to tell without seeing the table play. I would have thought P would have kept the pressure on them. I really hope he gets it!

DeV.

MrPillowTalk

everyones playing very tight, padraig is short stack but not very short, hes had his last three raises snapped off.

He is the best at the table though, go Ireland.

I'm in the Imperial Palace. My mate is already there so I'll be hooking up with him first, then to the Rio/Tilted Kilt.

DeVore

Depending on how much kip I get on the plane I'll either go to the pub fairly soon after sorting out the Rio, or I'll be there about 10pm

Padraig Parkinson Eliminated 3rd ($203,139)
135. Robert Toth raises to $90,000 preflop from the button and Padraig Parkinson moves all in for $255,000 more from the big blind. Toth calls and shows Adiamond3spade. Parkinson turns over Aclub4spade and the board comes Aheart6heart3heartKheart3club, giving Toth a full house and eliminating Toth.

mewso

Great play from Padraig. Nasty way to be knocked out.

bohsman

No deals done.

NickyOD

Ouchies Padraig!!

Padraig06
