That looks brilliant Connie.
Kudos on the organisation with the hotel in relation to the late breakfast/food/bar etc,top rate stuff.
Trying to get a sandwich in Citywest a couple of weeks ago,you'd think you were asking for kryptonite.

I really hope to make it this year.

Hiya Connie,

Started trying to sort the time for this already.
Played it last year and really enjoyed it - looking forwards to it and the hotel is class.
Should be a great weekend.

The absence of a trophy year 1 was our own fault Noel. We just plain forgot!!
You wouldn't want one retrospectively I'm sure, when a man of your talent will surely win it again!!:D
You'll be the first of my bets for 2010.:eek:

We have a deepstack game evry Sunday srarting at 6pm for the winter. 15000 chips, 20 min clock. €70 incl reg. We will up the entry fee by €10 and give the winner a ticket each week. Runner up on the Sunday can take a ticket as well if they wish. Should have about 30 runners (this deepstack is not strictly a sattellite. We will be starting ticket only satts on wednesdays in 2 weeks time).

Hi,
I know JPpoker will be doing a few satts for this, as will Nick from vegas Nights. I'll be in touch with the Dublin card rooms next week about satts and I'll post here afterwards.

Online satts- Irisheyespoker.com are running satts for the event. They have a monthly final (€40 with 1 rebuy/top-up @ 20. ) Next monthly final is Sunday Dec 6th at 7.15pm. 1 x €750 package gtd, 500+50 ticket and €200 expenses,(but there should be at least 2packages+ on the night).
There are daily €2 R satts to the monthly final, 4pm and 7.15pm.

Hope that helps
Connie

Hi Marq,
It would be nice to see you down here again, I seem to remember you went pretty deep in this the last time you were down.

Btw, 2 of my lads played in the Fitz 500. I know they both made day 2, any news on how they finished? David o donoghue and Alan fleming?

Anyway, let me know if your coming down.
