Lol, you think we even have a 5 Star Pizza hahaha. We have 1 McDonalds, bout 25km from 'Blayney and a 'soon to open' KFC which has been opening soon for a quite a while now. Tommy Wongs Chinese FTW!

bottleofharp1

In all seriousness it does sound good though. You not going to get many dealer dealt tournaments for €50. Wonder if Tommy Wong is doing the catering.

Ramiriquez

I'll definitely be there, for experience if nothing else. First live tourney and all that. Probably go bust 1st level or summat. Oh well, close to home

bottleofharp1

Well I suppose somebody has to donate at these charity events!!:D

Paul Spillane

We were hoping one Neil Badbeat Channing would make a guest appearance and play in a heads up match v Marty after the poker but he's off to Vegas earlier than expected and won't be able to make it. we are scrambling around for another 'poker celeb', sadly so far we only have Ciran Corbett lined up. Will let you know if we find anyone a little more 'glamorous'.

bottleofharp1

Unlucky that Neil Channing cant come but Ciaran Corbett would definitely draw a crowd! I saw him at a tourney in the Red Cow and it was just scary how good he was!!

The Clamper

why not try Roy Brindley

he is a celeb isnt he?

Paul Spillane

He is a celeb but sponsored by a competitor which kinda rules him out im afraid.

Ciaran Corbett is the star man alongside Marty for this event.

The Clamper

ciarann is not a bad player, and great craic, which is much more important

see you there

sounds like a great night


derek

carfax

Any one else planning on playing in this?

The Clamper

Considering The Interest Shown, This Could Actually Be Full

It Will Certainly Be Full Of Craic

I Wish I Hadnt Agreed To Work At It, Coz It Sounds Like Its Gonna Be A Great Night

Get There Early To Avoid Disappointment

Even If You Cant Make It, Just Send Your Money, The Charity Will Think You Are Great

bottleofharp1

Clamper I Think Your Use Of Capitals Is Great!! Is There Any Expected Numbers For This?

The Clamper

I WAS TOLD 70+ HAVE BEEN ON TRYING TO PRE REG


HOWEVER I WAS ASKED TO BRING ENOUGH DEALERS FOR 100 AND I KNOW THEY HAVE SOME TOO

I AM BRINGING ENOUGH CHIPS ETC AND TABLES FOR 150, WHICH I THINK IS THEIR MAX

LOOKS LIKE A FUN NITE OUT WITH SOME VALUE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU MANAGE TO DONK OFF MARTY SMITH (bounty)

typed in Caps, Just foR YoU

INCIDENTALLY, 2 DEALERS DROPPED OUT THIS MORNING, BUT I MANAGED TO GET 1, SO IF YOU ARE A DEALER AND CAN DO CASTLEBLAYNEY TONITE, CALL ME
0868343252
1ST COME GETS THE JOB,
YOU CAN ALSO USE THIS NUMBER IF YOU ARE EVER CLAMPED
JUST BE ADVISED THAT I WILL TAKE THE CALL AS SOMEONE TRYING TO CHEER ME UP
I LOVE HEARING IT AND NEVER TIRE OF HARD LUCK STORIES

redzerdrog

might give this a shot later sounds like a bit of craic

Ramiriquez

Finished a respectable, yet disappointing 5th, A4 v 57 blind on blind, he spiked a 7 on the river. Woulda had chip lead but blinds were at 15k and 30k at that stage so just a crap shoot.
Enjoyed this though

pokerkingsni

Who got the bounty? If anyone.:D

Bounty finished up at $600, think Marty finished in the 30's or 40's. Don't know who knocked him out though.

The Clamper

WE WILL POST THE FULL RESULTS LATER ON, STEVE HAS THEM WITH HIM AND IS PROBABLY STILL RECOVERING FROM A VERY BUSY NIGHT IN Castleblayney

IT WAS INDEED A GREAT BIT OF CRAIC, LOVELY PEOPLE JUST HAVIN FUN

3 AM FINISH

NEARLY 5K IN BOUNTIES WERE HANDED OUT ON A MYRIAD OF PLAYERS

NOT A BAD NIGHT FOR SUCH A SMALL ENTRY FEE

THEY RAISED A TIDY SUM FROM THE POKER AND RAFFLE AND GENEROSITY OF SOME SPONSORS, ALL FOR THE HEART FOUNDATIONS OF IRELAND AND ENGLAND

NICE

carfax

Yeah, really enjoyed running this tournament and we were instructed to make it as playable as possible early on to give the newbies as much play as possible but we also had to be finished by 1:30am so by the time 2:30am rolled by we needed to speed up the blinds.

A very nice old man knocked Marty out for the $600 bounty but the total amount of money given away by Boyles was pretty sick.....In two €10 sit & go's the bounty on Marty was $250 as well as all the bounties on Boyles staff, high hand, ladies last longest, first player out and a load of other $100 giveaways....

Full official results will be posted by Tuesday morning if anyone wants to see them.

Paul Spillane

Thanks to everyone who came along and contributed to a truely wonderful evening.

Stephen and Derek worked outstanding hard along with their terrific team of dealers to make sure everyone felt relaxed which relected in peoples generousity towards the charity.
We will be allocating all the additional bouinties and bonuses on Tuesday, once the Boylepoker teams hangovers have subsided.
