Blinds have been rolled back to 6k/12k with a 1k ante.


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on October 29, 2006, 03:35:45 PM
Very first hand.

Rob makes it 5k, Simms re-raises to 90k and Nick Slade moves all-in.

Both players fold, Nick shows an Ace and Simms claims A-Q.


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 29, 2006, 03:38:01 PM
Three players see a 5s 9d 3d flop, David Tavenier bets outs 30k, William raises another 100k and Roland passes. David re-raises all-in and William quickly mucks.


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 29, 2006, 04:11:48 PM
Patrick Bueno pushes all-in for 69k and William calls.

Kh 6h for Patrick, Ahrt Jd for William.

Board:

7d 9c Qc 5h Jc

which means Patrick Bueno is our 8th place finisher winning €51,740


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 29, 2006, 04:40:07 PM
Just previous to this crazy hand...

Roland raises preflop, David, who has been steadily accumulating chips calls,

They check the Ahrt Jd Ac 7s 5c to the river where David bet 40k on the river and Roland called with his Tens saying, "You got a Jack?"

David shows Ad Jc.


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 29, 2006, 04:46:18 PM
Blinds are now 8k/16k with a 2k ante now.


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on October 29, 2006, 04:49:10 PM
approx counts:

Yong -- 500k
Slade -- 350k
McKeever -- 240k
Simms -- 280k
Roland -- 1.1 mil
Thorsson -- 800k
Tavernier -- 500k


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 29, 2006, 04:53:31 PM
Rob, William and Nick limp, Roland raises, Rob and William passed, Nick Slade re-raises all-in and Roland calls.

Roland:

Ad Qc

Nick:

Js 9c

Board:

Aspades 9s Qd 4h 3c

Nick was adamant Roland had nothing and was pulling a move and thought he could make Roland pass for another 220k, incidentally Rob had been contemplating making a move with a pair of Fours and would've setted up on the turn.

So...

Nick Slade is our 7th place finisher winning €70,210


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 29, 2006, 05:01:02 PM
Roland raises to 50k, David calls. Rob re-raises to 250k. Passed around back to Roland and David who both fold.


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on October 29, 2006, 05:11:05 PM
Another scoop for Roland...

Flop = 2s Aspades 3c

Roland bets 70k, William Thorsson calls.

Turn = Qc

Thorsson checks, Roland bets  140k, Thorsson calls.

River = 8s

Thorsson checks and Roland asks his opponent how many chips he had.

"670k," replies Thorsson confidentally.

Roland bets 350k, his glare focuses on Thorsson, eyes shuddering from side to side.

Thorrson folds.


Title: Re: PokerStars Dublin EPT: Final Day - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 29, 2006, 05:25:59 PM
Ad Qc for Gavin, Jc Th for Roland.

Turn = 6h

Roland checks, William bets 45k, Roland makes it 165k and William calls.

Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 29, 2006, 06:18:59 PM
William limps, George and Roland also limp, David makes it 100k, William re-raises to 300k with a veritable castle of 1k chips, George and Roland get out of the way. David dwells for a bit, Roland tells him to throw his little balls which is he uses as a card protectors into William's castle, which gets a lot of laughs in the press room. David passes.

Rob -- 450k
William -- 550k
George -- 450k
Gavin -- 500k
Roland 1.2mil
David -- 650k

Play has almost ground to a halt.

Very slow indeed.

Thorsson is slowly rebuilding his stack, but there are no major pots.

Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 29, 2006, 11:45:06 PM
And it's over!!!!

In a raised pot preflop.

Both players check an 3h 5d Aspades flop.

Turn:

5h

Roland bet 70k, David thought for a bit and raised to 250k. Roland dwelt and then called.

River:

9c

Roland bet 250k and David moved all-in. Roland called.

David had Qh Jc for a bluff but Roland held 5s 4c for trip fives meaning that...

ROLAND DE WOLFE IS THE EPT DUBLIN WINNER OF 2006 OFFICIALLY WINNING €554,300


Congratulations to Roland who picked up chips all the way through the tournament and rarely looked in trouble. Also well played to David who played a very good final table moving up the places quietly, indeed, Roland said to him he would have had to pass an Ace on the river to his bluff. Well done also to Gavin, Nick and Rob, the other blondes on the table and the rest of the finalists. Snoopy is just about to upload a few pictures.
