I think HB finished 17th. Not 100% sure where BCB finished. I think around the 40-50 mark

Captain Tom

And he also backed himself in the boards last longest on Paddy Power at 40-1, so make that 20k!

His exit hand was sick, no way he can get away from it. Raised QQ on the button, blinds reraise and Peter pushes. Guy in the blinds had KK. Biggest pot of the tournament that would have left him with a huge stack!

And fair play to Noel and Nicky as well. Fantastic performances all around. Nicky literally raising with air has to be the play of the tournament.

i dunno, that guy calling the devil fish's all-in with KK would have to be a strong contender for that prize.

As above. well done to everyone from boards....

Unfortunately I didn't see any of it but Antes Up did a great job and I was able to keep up to date from there..

I felt for Halfbaked in that hand and for Nicky too, who I have played with on many an occasion and have a healthy respect for his talents. BCB seemed to be having the time of his life and looked like he enjoyed every minute of it! Great results lads.
Saddest hand of the tournie though was Brian O'Keefe (The Fox) who went out with 99 versus Rolands Axh. He flopped a set too but Roland runnered a sick flush. Brian was very humble about his experience in their video interview with us pre-final-table and despite being on a final table with Nicky, gave him all the credit for teaching him the game. It would have been legendary to see him win it but even a final table appearance is astounding. No shouts, slamming the table or anything, he genuinely took a terrible beat very well.

Nicky, dont think this means I'll go easy on you next time we clash. See you in Kerry I hope mate!

yeh I'll be there Tom. The fox has been by far the best tournament player (me included) in Waterford for the last six months and has a magic character for the game. God I remember how bad he was when he started but he is as sharp as they come and believe me you haven't seen the last of him. I felt all the week that he would run well purely on the grounds that he hasn't in a bigger tournament before and is far two good of a player not to be figuring. believe me there's other good one's down here that you'll be hearing a lot of in the future as well

Now i have to get him to go to the WSOP with me. Now that could be fun. I should add the way fox plays the game cant be thought he has a natural ability I just gave him the odd pointer

Ollieboy

wp lads great results all around, unlucky with the exit hands in all instances, but thats poker...

El Stuntman

well done men

halfbaked - looking sharp on da telly in your new top!

AmarilloFats

well done all..nice one halfbaked.

Marq

carfax

Nicely done lads, very well played all.

Nicky it would have been great if you had of won as you are a fantastic ambassador for the game but Martyn is a great guy and I hope he gets plenty of main stream coverage for his win (which in terms of public perception of the game will go a long way imo).

Gus Ivey

yea brilliant results all

fox was terribly unlucky, when de Wolfe hit runner runner hearts against his trip 9s

OilBeefHooked2

Yeah congrats lads well done . esp Peter who I played with for a long period.
Vul on the QQ v KK hand.
See ye all in the Kerry at Connies spring festival

It was the devil fish's who called the all-in with A7o.

WP all good result.

Hitman Actual

Well done all concerned, massive performances! And while it would have been great to see Nicky take it down, I think we have a brilliant winner in Marty Smith. He's been around the Irish scene for a good few years now, and his win was really well deserved. He takes both his beats and victories with great grace, as well as being a very solid talented player.

connie147

Hey, well done to all concerned. I must admit i felt really gutted for the Fox when he got runner-runnered. He's as nice a guy as your likely to meet. Ye should all be proud of yere performances and lets not forger DavidK, a boards member from down here in Kerry who cashed in his first ever big tourney.

Well done all.

NickyOD

I thought the standard of poker played by the irish players at the business end of the tournament was first rate. Martin Smyth is very talented.

Goodluck2me

Great result guys, wp covering your hand nicky, super stuff all round peter, noel etc. A very good ambasssador for the game in marty smith and one who will represent the title well. he took that 2 so well not rubbing it in etc, wp.
Also did PPPspecial cash?

Well done to all of you.

smyths fold of the queen of spades was brilliant unreal lay down especially as it was screaming to be called with the value bet was very impressed by him.

carrigeen

yep well done to everyone who cashed as said above and just add Thomas Finneran to the list great perforamance


Imagine if we could get a few dubs playing we might of been able to add to the five culchies at the final table

Gholimoli

cracking result lads and very unlucky that one of you did not take it down.
most of you got it in ahead and my hear really goes out to hlafbake as there was nothing he could do there ...
fair play all of you.

HalfBaked

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes over the IO and after, it was/is most appreciated.

Well done to all the boardies that played, especially Noel and DavidK who both played really well and cashed.

As for Nicky, I really thought he would take this down and there could not have been a more deserved winner IMHO. He played some great poker and with a little more luck on the FT could have gone all the way. Well done on the final table and glad they gave you a few quid for beers!

Peter

mdwexford

wp to everyone who cashed especially Nicky and The Fox

Jesus Wept

Cheers Steven I was nearly physically sick when i heard your beat. I'm delighted that Marty went on to take the title we were blind on blind from three tables out and three seat draws. The guys a top bloke
