Uggggghhhhh!!!

Played terrible in this, great tournament though and one of the toughest fields going really......The standard is really high generally in Kerry, all very solid players really and all capable of laying down hands (unlike me).

One pot to speak of;
Folded around to me in small bliind (150-300 at this stage).
I have 18,000 BB has a little less than 11,000.

I find pocket tens (first starting hand in three hours and have been playing really tight luckboxing my way to my current stack in one hand)......Raise to 900......BB calls.

Flop K - 5 - T (two diamonds).
I bet 1200, he calls.....(I'm putting him on K-J, defo not the flush draw and I have put him on a medium strength hand pre-flop - so perfect situation as he obviously thinks he's winning.....
Turn is Qs....I bet 3,200, he calls leaving him with only 4,300 behind (pot is now 10,600).
River is Jd.....(Board now reads K-Q-J-T-5 with three diamontes).....

I check he bets 4,300 all-in......What are the chances my hand is good?.....(I'm only asking 'cos I'm interested in hearing peoples opinions but know that I am beat).....

In spite of the size of the pot, i think you have to fold here.

I'm sure Connie will update tomorrow fully tomorrow. From what I know, the following is the result:

1st - Geoff (Mormank on Boards) from Limerick
2nd - Kevin (don't know surname) from Cork
3rd - The Clamper
4th - Billy Holian - Killarney
5th - Derry O'Sullivan (Connie's son)
6th - James Lee - Kerry
7th - Greg Clarke - Killarney
8th - Myself
9th - Colm from Cork

Super tournament with great structure and very high standard of play.
I had never met the winner, Geoff, before. He's a dealer at the New Vic in Limerick. Very nice guy and a terrific player, he fully deserved his win.

Geoff's an awful player and a complete luckbox

(only joking mate)

Great weekend. My cashgame selection left a lot to be desired but a few big gambles paid off.

Many thanks to Connie for being a terrific host again...

The Clamper

I'm just back a few mins ago and had to post my compliments to Connie and Co. for a great tourney, super structure all the way including the satellite, which are normally donk fests and very fast

this is one of the best clubs in Ireland for atmosphere and would be up ther in my vieww as a real players club, no crap just play the game and have a bit of banter.

Connie and co are customer service oriented up the wazoo, nothing is a problem, everything in do-able

of course i may be a little biased, having played their €50 sat for a ticket, winning one and then coming in third place, how could i complain about that?
not half bad

there is talk of these guys doing something really big, so watch this space for an announcement later in the year

if you get the chance to play in this club, take it

i cant say enough about their hospitality and can do attitude, as the blokes from Thunderbirds would say " everything was F.A.B. and all systems go"

mega, well done Connie and the great staff

Dealers were excellent and i forgot to mention that the locals can hold their own, so watch yourself, if you have any ideas of an easy buck, think again, these guys can play, i was Mr Luckbox to get a result here.

Clamper

mormank

i would have to agree with the clamper's comments about the club in killarney regardin the atmosphere and the staff of the club. great tournie structure also. pity you couldnt make it down chopper. you mightve been able to take second!!

poorbarman

great tourney as usual,luckboxed my way to 5th place after being down to the felt during the second level.Now i can put a few more faces to names!
Congrats to mormank.Well played sir.............

connie147

Thanks for all the compliments lads. It does mean a lot to us. (Its in the kerry physche I think to be customer orientated, probably a lot to do with tourism being Kerrys no.1 industry), so having satisfied customers talking us up is a sign of a job well done.

The main event was a tremendous tournament with a v high standard of play. The structure worked well I think as when they came back today for the FT, blinds were 1500-3000 (300 ante), with the av stack being 60k so plenty of play was left(FT lasted 5 hours).
The winner was Geoff Kearney(mormank on boards) from Limerick with Kevin Mcdonnell from Cork in 2nd place. Other boardies on the FT included the clamper(3rd), poorbarman(5th) and Lplate(8th).

PS: Nicky Power chopped the support event with Keith Cummins just a few minutes ago and now we're off to the niteclub to wind down.
