Well we are under way 70 players so far with straglers coming in all the time.

The rooms look great, The bracelet is on display and looks fantastic.

The game got under way at 7.30p.m

First action.

Thomas Archibald is gone. Rob taylor made it 1500 pre flop, Thomas calls.

Flop comes Queen high, Rob bets, Thomas raises half his stack, Rob pushes and Thomas calls. Thomas has kings, rob has Aces. Blank, Blank and Rob Taylor doubles up to 60k within 30 minutes.

The Poker Room · 03-07-2009 08:18PM

Brian Early raises to 1050, Richie lawlor raises to 6k, Brian raises to 15k.
Richie goes all in and Brian calls. Richie has Ace/Ace and Brian has Big slick off. No bad beat and Brian is left with 2,000 chips. Long way to go though.

We will post full chip counts after each meal break every 3 hours if possible.

Brain Early is gone, couldn't make the short stack work pocket Brian 44 against Graeme Oneil AQ, You know the rest. Just in case you were wondering ace on the Turn and Brian Is gone.

Cormac Kilroy, All in for 19,600 pre-flop with the Ace of Spades. Gets called by Chris Oconnor with Ace / Ace, two spades on flop, Spade on the turn and spade on the river. I hate Aces. So Cormac doubles through and Chris is down to 15k.

High hand so far Aces over Jacks, that will never last. Brendan Byrne had quad kings but bet it out and everyone folded and it didn't go to the show down.

Jose lamb just flopped quad jacks and it went to a show down so that is the best hand now.

Femi Fakinle bet 4200 Philip Godkin pushes all for about 10k in with an open end straight draw, Femi calls with botton pair and it holds up.

The Eagle has a lucky escape short chipped about 7k Eddie pushes with Ace queen of spades and gets called by Brian Mcelvany with KK.
Flop comes Ace, Queen, two. Blankety Blank and Eddie now has 15k in chips.

Before today Eddie has won his last 4 tournaments in a row in the Poker Room Including the 10k Bruce Poker game two weeks ago. Can he take down the big one and the Braclet ?

The Poker Room · 03-07-2009 09:57PM

71 players total and 61 remaining.

Giving a total prizepool of €14,200 with €2,500 added in additional prizes.

Numbers not as good as expected but still a very good game.

Aces no good once again

John Clarke makes a raise to 900
Shane O’Rourke re-raises to 3,500
John pushes all in for 15,500 in total, Shane calls and asks Ace’s?
John nod’s his head and shows AA, Shane turns over KK
The flop brings no help to Shane but he hits his two outer on the turn and with no help on the river John is gone 58th.

zsoulking · 04-07-2009 12:56AM

O’ how sick this game can be.

Paddy O’Neil raises to 1,000,
Dianne Hunt Re-raises to 4,000
Flop comes down A,K,5,
8 on the turn, Jack on the river and it all goes in.
Paddy gone in 57th.

zsoulking · 04-07-2009 01:16AM

Dianne Hunt still stacking up Paddy’s chips look’s down to see the snow men once again.

Flop comes 8,6,5 Glen O’Rourke has 8,4 and once again it all goes in.

No help for Glen on the turn or river and Dianne knocks out another player building up some momentum.

zsoulking · 04-07-2009 01:18AM

Lights camera action and allot of luck,

Limp limp limp then Yifei pushes all in for about 9,000.

Brian McElveny has KK and snap call’s.

Yifei sheepishly turns over K,8

Flop comes 7,9,10 now Yifei has a sneaky smile on his face the J comes on the turn and Yifei doubles up to almost 20K.

zsoulking · 04-07-2009 01:30AM

Who’s trapping who?

Rob Taylor makes a standard pre flop raise and Yifei calls.

Flop comes 9 high and Yifei first to act check’s expecting Rob to make a continuation bet.

Rob obliges and Yifei flat calls, the turn comes a blank and Yifei pushes all in for about 14k looking very confident.

Rob Taylor talks through every scenario and calls showing KK.

Yifei can’t believe it he shows Q,Q and is gone from the tournament in 56th.

zsoulking · 04-07-2009 02:10AM

It was a struggle but the final 16 are left.

Derek
Sean Gregory
peter Barrable
J.P Mcann
Kasia (rebuy)
Metal Man
Brian Holland
Ian Cheyne
Pedro
Yifei
Nigel Clancy
Gordon Cowan
John Scanlon
Aiden T
Laurent
Aiden King €500 first prize.

You can get 15/1 for anyone still remaining.

Also you get 100/1 on a John Scanlon / Kasia final (They are in the same half of the draw, though )

zsoulking · 04-07-2009 02:14AM

Tim Kavanagh
Ciaran Cooney
Mark Lynch (He played really well though, he made me say that).

Down to 54 players ish.

The Poker Room · 04-07-2009 02:34AM

Flop comes 5,2,2 Fergus Atkinson bets out Smurph moves all in for about 17,000.
Fergus calls and shows Q,Q smurph says well done and sows 10,10
Blank on the turn,
Pow! 10 on the river Fergus shakes his head.:(

ghostface ste · 04-07-2009 03:04AM

Sorry about the breaks running a little longer, tried to run a fun side event in Rock, Paper, scissors to add some fun to a long event. Would have to evaluate If we would do it in future. In saying that I think the 54 people who played had fun but understand your concerns.

Paul smallwood just gone.

I think Fami is chip leader with 140K but will give you chip counts for the leaders on the next update.

zsoulking · 04-07-2009 03:44AM

Paul Smallwood just knocked out by David Gill.

Blinds @ 300-600-75, Paul makes it 1,800 preflop which Dave calls.

Flop 5-6-7 rainbow.

Dave leads out for 4,500, Paul makes it 12K.

Dave then moves all-in, Paul calls to be shown the bad news.

Turn - A, River is a 4 giving no help and we lose Paul in 44th position.

Average stack has now broken the 50k mark

The Poker Room · 04-07-2009 04:42AM

Brendan just doubled up through Brian Holland.

Kings Vs Jacks and Kicks hold up.

Brendan back up to 30k and Brian left with 31k
