    Donnachae O'Dea
    Ivan Donaghy

    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.

    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) ;-)

    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.

    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?

    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.
