I know "h" has qualified on DTD Online and is going across...good luck h


Anyone else qualified, or playing?


Let us know on here please and we'll update on your progress through the week

Anyone else playing this? Heard rumblings that there might be overlay. I can see them struggling to hit 250 players for a 1k so close to the main event in vegas.

No one?


Interesting


there may well be an overlay of over €30,000 at this weeks Killarney event of the UKIPT tour.

a guarantee of €250,000 the event, starting on Thursday of this week

I know kaibobble will be there because we have a date at the bar at some point over the week-end.  Herself and the DTD lot are arrive at some point today.  Not sure about the rest though.  Will keep ye posted over the week-end as I'll be popping in there now and then to say hi and rail if needed.

Cousin's wedding on Saturday ruled me out...

Met Kate and a few from DTD including Alex and Simon.  Few drinks and a Thai meal later, we were entertained by a proper character called Jim.  Don't know his second name, but man...he makes ME look sane!  lol  Gosney is due in town tomorrow and kick off is at 4pm.  I'm off to Dublin in a couple of hours (5:30am wake up call - marv) with the kids to get their US passports, so won't be back to Killarney until around 9pm.  Will post if I hear anything newsworthy for ye once I get there.

244 in so far

ukiptthumb.JPGIt's said that if you took a long enough lever and had a place to stand you could move the Earth. Well, that's what Archimedes said but then again he did run naked down the streets of Syracuse shouting 'Eureka!' so perhaps you shouldn't trust everything that flew out of his gob. If you took that said same lever and balanced it perfectly it would mean that you'd be slap bang in the middle and that's exactly where we are at the UKIPT Killarney, the centre point of the Season 1 tour. Enough of existential ramblings, who are the overinight chipleaders? They are Irishmen Vinny Gavin (79,850) and Sean Molloy (77,350) who are doing their best to follow in Padraig Parkinson's footsteps and keep the Irish UKIPT titles on homesoil. These two are leading the charge of the 143-strong field that are coming back to play day 2. Over one hundred players fell today from the 253 that contributed to the €253,000 prizepool and another hundred more will face elmination before the payouts begin with a €1,650 handshake for a 32nd place finish.

Manchester final table finisher Dan Owston is the prime candidate for play of the day, one which he freely admits was fuelled by a little tilt. Kate Langshaw had limped under the gun at the 100/200 blind level and had been raised to 700. Owston had called from the small blind with 2♥2♠ and check-called 1,650 on the J♥3♥6♠ flop, 3,100 on the 5♦ turn and a final 6,200 - from his opponent's 11,000 stack - on the 9♣  river. A fail here would have left Owston with a mite over 2,000. 'I would have put him in for my last few chips if I thought he'd call,' said Owston who refused to show his hand until his opponent showed his A Q . Fishy calls or Brunsonesque underpair to the board bluff catch? We'll leave that to your discretion but we'd like to err towards the latter. Owston finished the day on 40,350.

Another day, another bubble and another broken dream for one poor bubble boy. However that also means a hell of a lot of celebration, renewed hope and glory for thirty-two others. Tonight's wayward soul happened to be Dave McAndrews who had a fairly grim outdraw with 9♦9♠ to 6♣7♣ on a 3♦3♣7♥4♦ board. A 5♠ on the river gave his opponent, one Vinny Gavin, a straight and a huge 379,100 stack. Gavin, however, does not get to claim the chip lead for the second night on the bounce. That privilege goes out to David Rowley who goes into the money with an epic 445,000 chips. That's four times the average stack and all but guarantees him a deep finish. All but...


Rowley built his monster stack in the final hand-by-hand bubble moments of the day when he hung on with A♥4♦ on a Q♠8♥A♣7♣K♦ board in the face of three streets of aggression from Johannes Meyer (who was bluffing/semi-bluffing/bluffing with 5♠6♠). It was a huge call on the river and one that he would have been asking himself 'Why didn't I just muck?' for the next few days if he'd got it wrong. Instead he was rewarded with a huge pile of chips that will propel him deep into day 3. We caught up with him after the tournament to speak to him about that hand. Rowley explained, 'Johannes and myself were the two chip leaders on the table and we'd both been opening pots on the bubble but we both know that we're trying to stay out of each other's way. When he opens, even though he's under the gun I decide to call with A-4 from the big blind as I think it's ahead of his opening range as other stacks are playing tight. When he bets 8,000 on the Q♠8♥A♣ it's pretty standard so I call. The turn is the 7♥ putting a straight and flush draw on board. I check again and he bets 20,000, I check-raise to 60,000 as I'm fairly sure my ace is good and I think he peels in position with draws like J-10 or 10-9. The river was the K♦ which completed some of the draws so I checked. He bet 120,000 so if I call and lose I've only got about 40,000 left. I took my time over it and I thought he looked uncomfortable, a bit weak and also I think my ace is probably good so I call. He had 5♠6♠ for a missed draw.' German Meyer, who was leading the pack earlier in the day, was left with an average stack but definitely shouldn't be ruled out for tomorrow.


Beyond these big stacks there is a huddle of previous final table finishers that are looking to go that step further in Mike Hill and Dan Owston (UKIPT Manchester), Owen Robinson (UKIPT Nottingham), Cat O'Neill (UKIPT Galway) and last but not least Mick BIGMICKG Graydon (also UKIPT Galway), Ireland's first Supernova Elite. Graydon was bitterly disappointed not to go all the when he finished fourth in Galway in the very first UKIPT event. It was Padraig Parkinson who won that first Irish event back in December 2009 and other Irishmen, including the legendary Liam Flood, will be keen to follow him in his footsteps in keeping the UKIPT Killarney title on Irish soil. Join us tomorrow to find out who makes it to the fifth UKIPT final table.

The Friday night motley crew -

HotPants (DTD Alex), Iceman (Hugh aka h aka setalot), Luigi (aka Karl) & Wee Leprechaun (Kate aka kaibobble)

Femi Fakinle has won the UKIPT Killarney for €63,400 keeping the second Irish tour date title on home soil beating a 253-strong field in the process. The Wexford man had led the final table from the front starting the day with 1m chips, some 400,000 more than Peter Barrable in second place, and he almost always had the look of a man that was going to win. He did, however, relinquish his grip on the top spot several times towards the back end of the tournament but that we'll come to shortly.


Fakinle set out his stall early and that stall was labelled with a big sign saying 'Fakinle's Shop - we're ready to help you play big pots.' He personally knocked out Mike Hill in 8th (€7,425), Philip Phu in 7th (€9,600), Peter Barrable in 4th (€17,700) and, of course, Aonghus Farrell in 2nd (€39,200). He got it in good against Hill with queens against tens, for a flip against Barrable and with a A♠T♠ suckout against Phu's shortstacked A♥Q♠. Farrell was not so easy to finish off and huge chip swings took place between the two Irishman when the action broke three-handed.


A mention should be made for the great performance from Jens Schmukal. Alongside Fakinle he was, somewhat predictably, the other final table axeman. The German seemed to be following in his national football side's strategy of appearing out of nowhere and smashing shots home. Schmukal scored two important goals with the knockouts of David Rowley in 6th (€12,100) and Brian Downey in 5th (€14,600). Two big flips were presented to him and he converted both. That's German efficiency for you. Unfortunately Schmukal couldn't quite cross that final hurdle and finished with third place honours . Quite frankly, it would have been horrific had he won here given how Germany had knocked out England in the World Cup. No-one is allowed to have that good of a day.*

Great week-end had by all and was lovely to meet so many new faces.  Unfortunately I was in mellow mode all week-end and surprised a few.  Now I'm expected to carry the mellowness with me on the next trip to DTD.  Sigh.  lol

Ahhh yes I remember you now h, played a lot tighter than you do online if I recall :-)
