jackdaniels55

jackdaniels55

Right just to bump this up a wee bit and remind you all its for charity so hopefully a good few of you will make your way in to us!!!!!

roryc

Ill be heading into this with a few friends, is it likely to sell out? Just checking that if we show up on the night we'll defo get seats

cheers

jackdaniels55

Hopefully this will be a roaring success reg from 8pm so if you want a seat be sure to be in early!!!! Oh and double cash hrs all night remember you only need 30hrs to qualify.. see you all there

Mellor

I'd say it will sell out or get close to selling out at least.

Dukebox

alright everyone,

think the best thing to do is register at half seven / eight then jump into flannerys, not sure how many they can take but last year we got around the 60/70 mark and that was only advertising within the club and without the client base they have now, my guess 100+....................................................... calling all messers has to be lots of side bets (7 2 game kieth) biggest suck out, last longer, props for chips, all the wild and wonderful things you can do locked,
unfortunatly my flight is 10:30 the next morning so i have to limit myself to 15 pints
cant wait .....

carfax

Sounds like its one not to be missed, Duke just to let you know my Grandad is actually in the States so you won't see him before you leave.

See you in Flannerys about 8pm.

e05bf05a

since your expecting a really big field, can you make the max. entrants no. larger, i think sarah said only 100 players max

Flushdraw

Is there many heading in for this? Gonna head in with Fergus but will be in after 9, cant imagine it selling out but does anyone know the Jackpots number just so i can pre-reg in case we're running fairly late?

Not really possible seeing as they have a fixed number of tables, even to get to 100 they'll have to use 2 or 3 accross the road.

Any chance of accepting late buy-ins, ill call and reg before 8, but I don't finish work til 9.30?

Either way, ill drop by as I can't miss Duke's farewell.

Hey everyone here are the results of the xmas party tournament:
1st Obren €1480
2nd Breifne €1200
3rd Paul Dempsey €1000

5th Mark McGee €450
6th Chris €350
7th Ronan Keegan €250

We raised just over €3000 for charity and still have room to increase the total as raffle tickets for Bernard Dunne's outfit are still on sale in the Jackpot!! So well done and thanks to all of you.
Also we'd like to thank Bernard, Eamonn and Marty for taking the time out at xmas to help support us and Our Ladies Hoapital for Sick Children,Crumlin and for the kind donation of Bernards framed boxing gear...
On behalf of Sue, Bruce, Mary Ellen, Dave and myself and all the staff at the Jackpot we would like to wish you a happy and prosperous christmas and new year.......

How many runners did you get?

HiCloy

About 60 I think. Was a good night, even if I did provide serious value in cash after

BigCityBanker

well done all - great night.

jackdaniels55

doke

Very funny night, well done to all involved.

Have to agree with that, Dunphy was hilarious, all in first hand and gone, he looked like he had a fairly good time all the same.

Was great to get to play with some of the top players in the country at the moment and no less than three finalists in last weeks poker million (Marty, Liam Flood & Eoghan O'Dea), Doke himself, plus a fair few other big poker names.

Was great that a few regulars were there to chop it up at the end. Well played Paul and Sinead. It will help to make christmas a little bit sweeter i'm sure.

One quick question. I presume finishing second on a wednesday means i get a ticket into the freeroll in January.
