Bump.

Always great craic had in Killarney for this and loads of easy chips with people like me playing

Specialun

Is 15k chipstack not a bit stingy.am i right in thinking that last yr this was suggested and it was changed.

Tbh i dont know if i see the value in coming from cork,espically with 15k

Even the 10k in the goldrush gives 23k starting stack and that kicks off at 8pm

dobman88

I cant comment on the structure/chip stack cos im not an organiser. I can tell you its great craic and loads of beer, sure what more do u want

Specialun

I know that part.i have gone last few yrs even when it was laddies...its just my opinion that the structure is a bit off

yea i agree. should be a 30k starting stack. structure def off. couldnt travel from sligo for a 15k start.

ter-ep91

15 k Starting is very poor considering Casinos in cork are doing the same stacks for less buy on there Friday and sunday games..Wouldn't travel for this at all

theshortstack

How many levels are played each day?

fabsoul

ye it should be 30k SS

Nellsor

I'd like to know what time late reg is on Friday. And I also agree with the above 15k stack is ridiculously low. Surely min of 20k is more acceptable IMO

Always enjoy hitting Killarney for a poker event,played it last year and i seem to recall structure was same and they had 400+ entries last year,for the buy in its ballsy putting on a 20k guarantee it does get a little crap shooty late on Day 1 but the 10 or so levels before that i found there was plenty play in it
Think they play down to the money on each Day 1

mohican22

Started late bout 5-15 on level 5 clock says 96 entries but more than that hasnt been updated in while,late reg/entry til bout 8-40

mohican22

116 entries yesterday im guessing itll be a prizepool of 25k plus,with a much bigger field expected today

Local lads Richie Lawlor and Jason "wedge" Arthur finished 1st and 2nd. Took 5k each and played for 1,200. Had a good party on Monday night in the cue club with copious amounts of alcohol bought by both guys. Bring on IPO Killarney now.
