Paddy Power Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance

[Djinn]

OK that Sorel Mizzi huge hand, as speed-related to me by new tablemate BA:  He raised three times the bb preflop, with two callers, one in position, one out. 
Flop:    Blinds-caller bet out 15k, Sorel tripled it, was called by his in-position neighbour and lost the original bettor.  Heads up for the turn, apparently called, "No heart" by Sorel who promptly put his shorter stacked neighbour all in when the blank came.  Call.  Now, apparently at this point he says, "You have the " - I didn't hear it but nobody was denying that he was spot on - that's exactly what he was shown and his stayed good with a rivered King (not a heart).

Let's guess his stack is now 250k.

Colin Stoddard is OUT. All-in with T-6 vs. K-7 on a K-4-2-T board. 9 River of no use.

-----------

Maz Nawab has 158,400. Also on his table is Mad Turk (121,600) and Surinder Sunar (35,700). Just behind them on the neighbouring table is Shadow member Paul Gourlay who is challenging for the chip lead with 215,100.

-----------

Marty Wilson is OUT. Kings v Nines.

-----------

Lesly Divine is also OUT.

-----------

Noel Hayes has double up with vs. and a board. He was very excited.

[Djinn]

Paul Zimbler turns a short stack to a medium one, moving in for 25k over the top of an early raiser, who called the extra 13k with .  As soon as he called, Paul shouted in that way one usually does when the river's made you a winner, showing .  A Queen came on the flop to create brief tension, but preflop hubris or not there was no outdraw and a bit of "COME ON!" later he's up over the 50k mark.
_______________________________

The hand which doubled Dan Smith to 100k was a little less confident - he raised and presumably called an all-in from the blinds with .  I figure this because I can't see him just pushing in for 50k, but then again I'm not sure how much it was for him to call all-in... oh well, regardless of how it got there, a big pot was in the middle, and the of Danny D'Borin lost to some Eights as all five board cards came out while they both just stood there and watched.  Knocked to just 24k, and not looking best pleased about it D'Borin was out the very next hand, moving in when it folded round to him with and finding against him.  So quick, sometimes...


All this as the last few pre-bubble tables get broken and merged with the remaining 84...

We're now into a 20 minute break, but just before they left, Ian Frazer was all-in with A-K.

Billy Ngo, who finished 2nd at the Walsall GUKPT invited the cameras in for the full allotted time before calling with A-K.

Fraser turned over the same hand and, although the board brought three clubs, Fraser didn't quite make his flush on the River.

[snoopy1239]

Reyaaz Mulla is OUT. Think I overheard him mumble something about an Ace King v Ace 3, so it doesn't sound good.

------------

DTD member Paul Zimbler looks to be up around the 90k mark after doubling up off Peter Hardgrove with 9-9 vs. 6-4 suited.

[snoopy1239]

BA Kildalen was oh so close to being the butt of The Hammer's bubble dance, moving his stack in with a set of Aces on an A-x-x Flop (two spades) and finding himself up against a K-6 flush draw.

However, the Turn and River were blanks and the Norwegian survived.

[Djinn]

Bubbler was a certain Mr. McNaughton - such a crowd round the table - my window of visibility did catch the hands, however - all-in with (desperately short-stacked, however) against . 
Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

And while he goes home empty-handed, the rest of the 72 players are In The Money.

[snoopy1239]

John Conroy is OUT.

A-4 vs. 7-5

2-6-6-K-A board.

Paul Zimbler to blame.

----------

Trevor McGoona soon followed, A-T no good against Pocket Kings, especially when a third hit the Flop.

----------

Julian Adamson has just knocked out David Benyamine, Tens v Eights.

An intensely dejected Mad Turk has been forced on to the rail, fist missing a flush draw for a 100k pot and then losing a coin-flip with Fives v K-T.

-----------

Roland de Wolfe has seen off shortstacker Owen Mullan, vs. .

Board =

[Djinn]

Billy Ngo doubles up PaddyPower online qualifier Eddie Gorman, with the mighty .  Gorman had , and somehow it was all in preflop (perhaps Eddie raised, Billy in the blinds re-raised?  Got stuck calling with that filthy but at the same time alluring hand?  Yes, that sounds plausible).  A five on the flop but no more interest and a delighted Gorman gets a stack back.

[snoopy1239]

Danny McHugh's stack has just been dissected by David Barker, Aces v Tens, T-5-K-J-8 board.

--------

Meanwhile, Ian Woodley has gone, A-5 no good against pocket eights.

--------

Ian Fraser is OUT. No hand details.

[Djinn]

can i have an update on billy ngo stack pls ,,,,ty

Er... 0

Short stacked after losing that Gorman confrontation and I'm guessing a couple more, he was all in for about 30k with , against ...
Flop: 
Turn:    and with the on the river all hope disappeared and he shook hands and headed calmly for the rail.

52nd place, €5,000, not bad.
