Bump. Racing starts today. Don't mention the hurling (or football)!

Race week in The Eglinton has once again kicked off. 42 players showed up for the first €100 freezeout of the week. And with Monday being the 'quiet' night of the week it looks like it will be a good one.
Texas and Omaha cash games have started already so if anyone is not around or not interested in the tournments cash action is available.

Gaming tables will be open all week for everyone too. If it's your first time in the club don't forget your picture ID.

Daragh101

good tourney!

Theeglinton

Hey guys,

Just wanted to add, we have some rooms available at a good rate for raceweek if anybody hasn't got accommodation sorted.

Send me a PM to let me know if you need a room.

4 full cash games last night all night , a 1/2 , 2! 2/5 tables and a 5/10 omaha , there was some massive action and 42 runners in the tournament

It kicked off unusually early around 10 !! and tbh I will expect it to kick off earlier from wednesday onwards

as for finishing times .......... I'm just in the door

Give me a shout Bob 0878120869 sure I won't see you stuck

Theeglinton

It didn't take people long to get into the spirit of things! Over 80 runners in tonight's tournament. Tomorrow night should be even bigger and better. Don't forget it's starting at 8.30pm tomorrow.

Theeglinton

Despite the recent drop in numbers in attendance and betting at the race course ( down 20% in attendance and down 30% betting turnover ) we managed to have record numbers in the club last night !!!!

We saw over 80 runners for our €100 freezout and had six fullly packed cash games with some great action .

The house games were in full swing and and the club was buzzing there are two full cash games in action as I speak and we expect even greater numbers of the coming days

We saw some of the countrys best known poker players last night such as Andy Black , Paul Lecky , Chris Dowling and Francis " wally " McCormack but to name a few and you all know about the line up of players we are having over the next few days fo our " IRISH CHAMPIONS CHALLENGE CUP "

Congratulations to Michael "sideshow" O Brien on winning the main event and to our own Siobhan Blaney on coming second and also to Tom Kitt on making his second IPR ranking event final in three days.

My Hero, amazing what a man can do when he wants to avoid paying for a hotel

Hi Guys, Won a tourny in the club a long time ago. Could not get the cash because the lad in charge was under strict instructions that the winner was to get an end of month ticket ( I explained to him I was a Jackeen!). I assum I can use this ticket for friday night?

Hi Phil,

If you have a €350 ticket you can use it for Friday no problem. We're expecting a good crowd so try and register early. We're open from 8pm.

On a side note, over 110 players tonight! It keeps on growing.

GKidd

Hey Dave,

How many runners did you get last night?

Will be about tomorrow for the tourney.

Theeglinton

It’s been a long long week for us with us managing to break all previous club records

I personally have not seen the cash action in the club before infact I have never seen the cash action I saw this week, there were 40k / 30k pots on the Omaha tables and all our tables were full Tuesday to last night, Tuesday and Wednesday saw record numbers for the 100 f/outs with Wednesday reaching 111 runners.

We were privileged to have the likes of Andy Black , Marty Smith , Padraig Parkinson and Tom Hanlon down along with Chris, Wally , Jaye , Dara o K and Paul leckey but to name a few.

The champions of champions Tournament was a joy to watch with Parky taking it down and Silkey coming second ( leaving us a €500 tip :Dthx boys )

The Main event was won by Claregalway resident ( go figure ) Conor Maguire winning over 6k for his efforts with club members Sean Cleary , Derek " the dangerous " Murray and Paul Johnston coming 2nd , 3rd and 4th respectively ( none of the foreign raiders managed to cash )

I'd love to tell you some of the carry on that was going on in and outside the club but like Las Vegas what happens in Galway stays in Galway .......;)
Many thanks to all who called in to us over the week and a big thanks to all the staff who worked like trojans all week they were fantastic !!
Next up for us is some auld fellas 40th birthday party to be held in the club on Wednesday the 19th of August ....... any guesses ??

I can tell ya I'm looking forward to a few nights sleep
