i think your confusing him with Chris Cooke or Ruuush. unless he masquerades under a different surname i dont think its him. I also dont think he is from Kinnegad, thought he was more Naas direction. I could be wrong tho. In fact, I hope I am.

Rock :eek: Me hole, he's a complete lagtard from any session I've had vs him in the Crane Club, Mullingar. Here's a hand from the live updates:

Happiness is a Spilled Drink

No-Limit Hold'em:

From late position, Chris Rentes opens with a raise to 11,000. Michael Chu is on the button, and he pops it up to 30,000. Rentes calls.

The flop brings {J-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}. Rentes checks and Chu moves all in for his last 39,000. Rentes thinks for a moment before making the call, showing down {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. Chu is so excited that he got a call, he spills his drink as he tables his {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}.

The turn brings a {Q-Spades}, leaving Rentes drawing dead to a chop. The river blanks off with the {7-Diamonds}, and Chu doubles himself up to 153,000.

Fair enough the hand is taken in isolation so I've no idea of why he played like that, maybe he had good reason. Does look rather silly though.

Nice bloke though, plays the big omaha game in the fitz too from time to time.

Hope he gets a nice score.

I've scoured hendon mob, cardplayer, wsop and pokernews with no luck yet. I'm sure pokernews will stick up a few sets of all the people on the final table later on tonight.

I think the FT is on the live stream tonight.......

Mellor

on a break,
but only binger seams to be playing, he has a massive lead

ad the puples are 500 and are being raced off

Ace2007

First Break
The tournament clock has been paused while the purple T500 chips are colored up and raced off. The players will then be on a 20-minute break


note:

Binger has still yet to lose a hand that he is involved in and has well over half of the chips in play.
