Looking forward to the updates... good luck to all lucky enough to be playing.

Marq - slightly off topic, but is Monday's 75 tournie on at 8 or half 8?? (Must be my eyesight, couldn't see it on other thread). Thanks.

kudos to Marq, Denise and all the Fitz staff on a great main event.

Btw No apologies to the student who I speechplayed into shipping 60 BBs over the line first hand of a sat with JJ when I had AA. I just hope it was a good life lesson for you!! :D

He was holding very steady on 40k or so about 40 minutes ago.
He looks very focussed and fresh. He should go deep Donal.

Running like God yesterday he was. Standard

Seriously though, if Ozzie doesn't take this down, I'm rooting for the Cookemeister.

NO-EARLEY-BIRD

great work keep it up
and dont forget the dealers....good job lads and lasses:)

William Money

just gone - played my exit hand very badly
had an extremely frustrating day of mostly being card dead yesterday
but managed to pick off enough chips to stay alive

excellent structured well run tourney

Looking forward to omaha tonight!!

Marq

some early action from the first level.

Bill O'Keefe doubled through Noel Hayes for 18k when his 88 held up against Noel's AJo.

Tommy Watson doubled through Rory Reese Brennan AIPF when his 66 beat AQ. An A-6-5 flop killed most of the tension.

Jim Halpin was our 17th place finisher. He lost most of his chips when he shoved a flush draw into David McCreevy's Top Pair Top Kicker and the rest to Donal Norton with 84 against A2.

Ronan Ryan was next out when his nines were no good against Glen McCabe's kings.

blinds are now 800/1600 with a 200 ante.

Chip counts to follow at the next break.

Thanks

doke

Can someone please poke Marq with a stick for updates?

akkenny

gone in 14th played pretty well last night but never really got going today,card dead for first 2 hours and any raises in late position were snapped off or called and takin down post flop. as the blinds went up my bbs of course were reduced ended up been down to 10-11 bbs and shipped on bb with two limpers(limping surprisingly was happening a bit) to get called by aa and that was the last of me.

They just don't fold AA no matter what you show them Al!!

Good effort anyway, you were playing well last night but its important to get a bit of luck on the run in with blinds getting big.

Was BCB still in as you left?

Unlucky Chris, i was really rooting for you.

I was out in 7th. Did a 9BB jam w/ATC in the SB and ran into AQ.

One really interesting hand against Paul Houley. He limps in the hijack, Anthony limps on the button, SB limps and I check in the BB w/K6. I lead for 2/3 pot on a Q62 flop, and both Paul and Anthony call. I'm pretty much done with the hand except the turn is a K. I bet 40% of my stack and Paul calls again, Anthony folds. I'm not sure what he has at this point unless it's some super slow played set. The River is a 6 to fill me up, so I jam and Paul shrugs his shoulders and calls w/ KQ. I talked to a couple of people at the break and no one puts him on KQ there. I got lucky to hit a 6, because I'm definitely committed to the hand.

Well done to Mark and the rest of the staff at the Fitz. Between the 1/2 price sats on Saturday and the brilliant structure, I really had a great time.

doke

Well done Oz. Looks like any time either of us push into the blinds the BB is destined to have AQ (my exit hand too, and also from Bruce main event, and tonight's GJP deepstack sat).

Congrats on another decent cash: great consistency.

Also, well done to all the Fitz staff, as ever.

AKQJ10

Rees still in?

Wolves

This isn't fully up to date.

Final 3 were: Paul Houley / Rory Reese / Tommy Watson

That was over an hour ago though.

smoothcall

Rees is the lowest in chippys. Turned down a deal too i believe.

5starpool

Any pics of those dudes that aren't Rory? Want to see if any of them were at my table at any point.

Marq

Deal done.

Reese 14800
Tom Watson 13000
Paul HaNley 12000

I had lots of reports throughout the day ready to go up, but never got the chance to do it. I'll put together a full report at some point

well done lads, Tommy was short stacked early and came out the right side of 2 races v me and Rees to stay alive. He picked his spots well.

Having shared a table with Rees all weekend it makes me realise how much more I need to improve as a poker player. He was a class apart to all other player i sat with this weekend.

Agreed, Rory was a tough adversary and was hard to take chips from.
When down to three, he changed gears and was raising a lot.
I had him on the ropes at one stage with about 420k of the 900k in play against his ~140k but he fought back and took down a big pot against me when I had J10 on an AA10xx board and I made a poor call on the river, (even though getting 3-1) against his AQ.:mad:
Was happy enough to take 12k for a €100 spin up from the Sat. game.
Thanks to Marq and all the Fitz crew for a great tournie.
