John O'Callaghan - finsihed in or around 600th last year

Pokerevents

Paul Leckey is over there since event no.3.

Christy Smith and Lesley are going. I believe Lesley son is also going(dont know his name)
Also Pat O'Callaghan and Dave Curtis(both Galway) are booked

Pokerevents

Vinny "longlad" O Toole won the tournament in the Merrion, however I do not think He is going.
Also Brian Vickers won a ticket, again I'm sure He's not going either.

Shortstack

Thanks guys, keep them coming.

Just remembered Don Fagan will be there too ( he won 3 seats!! )

NickyOD

McCloskey, Leckey, Betson, Frank Callaghan, Peter Roche not going? Don't know if they are just surprised they're not on the list

Hey Mike, there are a _lot_ people going over to play super sats etc. Are u interested in their names also?

The only confirmed people you would get so far would be internet qualifiers and pros.

I don't think Noel Furlong is going - he says hes getting too old for it.

FYI Its MacMahon (notice the A between the M and C) ;-)

ocallagh

Yeah, his grandson actually - Alan McLean - a very good player.
McCloskey is going to Vegas but is going to play some of the other events and maybe supersat into the main event.

Apologies Mark. MacMahon will appear on all official reports!

Peter Roche maybe going, I have seen Betson & Declan Barker trying to qualify on stars but with no success so far, I would imagine they would be there though.

Declan told me a while back that he would be going

I had a good chat with Lesley at last weeks Friday game, and I'm sure he said that he, his son, and his grandson would be playing the big one this year. He was wondering if this was some sort of a first i.e. three generations playing the WSOP main event. Anyone know how to find this out?

NickyOD

I would imagine Alan Kelleher is in Vegas again this year too.

Pokerevents

Also from Cork is Gavin Stevens who is booked.

Brian's not going.
Bob (Battersby?) also won a ticket in The Merrion, he is going.

Gibbons going over for super satellites AFAIK. Mark Mcgee going also. I think Kev Maloney, Dave Callaghan (not O Callaghan), Kev Killeen are travelling

Eamonn, I'm staying in the Gold Coast for the first week and Wynns for the last couple of days.
