Title: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 22, 2008, 01:06:47 PM Welcome back to the Irish Open where Frenchman Eric Larcheveque leads the field with just shy of 100k in chips, with some more well known players such as Conor Tate, Maz Nawab and Nick Goodall in the top ten. Play will restart at 2pm and we're going to playing 8 levels today. I'm told there are a guaranteed 72 spots for the money, but I'm not sure if this is confirmed. We'll check later. Here are the remaining 257 players and their chip counts, taken from the PaddyPower blog. (Thanks to Nic Whelan for this):

Doyle Brunson playing, Dena Hassan dealing. Everything you ever wanted.
Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 22, 2008, 02:49:18 PM Steve Jelinek and Trond Eidsvig share a giggle. Steve had gone to raise but it had been noticed that one of the other player's cards had a massive folded dent in it. Ruling was called for and a misdeal was declared, Steve had to hand in his pocket Kings.

Too many bullets to dodge, it turns out as a flush comes on the turn.

Ty. Good non-bokkage work Snoops. Des has doubled up courtesy of table partner John Conroy, his A-5 holding versus John's K-8 in a preflop coup. Look how happy he is...bless. Up to 18k or so now. Don't get a nosebleed Des!

Last seen coated in breadcrumbs, (no that's a lie) he was coated in his coat and leaving the arena. GG sir. Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: danafish on March 22, 2008, 03:03:53 PM Yes yes indeed, Stu Rutter filled me in on the demise of the Dag. Apparently he celebrated so much with his pocket Tens on the Eight-high flop that everyone thought he had a set or something, but God must have heard and taken exception to the early celebrations because he was indeed gone with all those Aces on the turn and river and whatnot.
Also OUT is Jean Pierre Perrera, Mr Al Pacino of yesterday's update. Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: danafish on March 22, 2008, 03:11:13 PM Meanwhile a triple-up for Maria Maceiras, about whom Junglecat feels the same way that I feel about Trond. :) :) :)
Thomas Dunwoodie makes it 3k, and Maria shoves for her remaining not-so-many-k. Peter Malbasha throws his chips in behind her as well (he has only very slightly more than she does. Thomas Dunwoodie mulls and mulls, and eventually converts some of that mulling into the motivation to call. Thomas Dunwoodie - 7s 7h Peter Malbasha - Qd Qc Maria Maceiras - Aspades Ahrt "Oh," says Dunwoodie, "That wasn't the two Ace-Queens I was hoping for." Board - 5d 8s 2c 8h Jd Triple-up for Maceiras, and the small-change side pot for the almost-certainly-not-long-for-this-tournament Malbasha. Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: danafish on March 22, 2008, 03:13:42 PM Nicky Power - 11k
Fran Egan - two seats to Nicky Power's right, and 40k or so Brian O'Keefe - just over 30k Roberto Romanello - just 10k, eek Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: danafish on March 22, 2008, 03:19:31 PM I thought Dave Colclough was down to 8k or so, but that's because I was failing to realise that the chips slightly in front of the 8k stack comprised a chunky re-raise to Mr Shall-Not-Be-Named-On-This-Site's 4k bet on an 8c 8h 9s flop. Mr Shall-Not-Be-Named-On-This-Site passed.
Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 22, 2008, 03:21:09 PM Neil Channing is excited. "There's only five of us left in the last longer!" Himself, Mike Ellis, Bambos, Rory Liffey and Norman.
Bambos has just taken a dent though. He check-called a 7,550bet from John 'Rock Star' Conroy on a Td 5h 2d Jc board, but then passed to Conroy's 20k or so all-in push on the 5s river. Conroy showed Ac 3c. Cheeky monkey!

He raised to 3.5k with Aces and the big blind called. The flop came down Ten-high, all clubs. Kevin was feeling pretty confident, what with one of his Aces being the Ac and everything, and imagine his delight when the BB pushed for 20k or so with T-J, to just cover Kevin, and imagine his dismay when Mr BB spiked a Jack. Unlucky, Mr Daly. Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 22, 2008, 04:44:21 PM Mick McCool is OUT.

Hat Of The Day Now That Doyle Has Busted, Mr Greig Crawford - just 16k Sharing a table, Messrs John Conroy (60k) and Thomas Fougeron (40k) Sharing a different table, Messrs Level 13 Rumit (110k) and Soren Jensen (60k) Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on March 22, 2008, 09:16:13 PM On the feature table, Collette Murphy just pushed her shortstack in for the umpteenth time (well about 5th) and AT LAST someone found a hand to call her...Padraig Parkinson calling with A-Q, which was obviously good against her range, and in fact her specific hand... T-J.
The flop came Q-5-K to give hope to both players but a 2s turn and 7h river failed to provide Collette with her required straight, meaning Parkinson adds to his bulging stack and the tournament becomes a smurf-free zone.

Board - Q-A-4-9-4 By the way as I was typing that up, Junglecat starting laughing hysterically at me. Apparently he was sort of squinting at my screen, and where I had written "Conor Tate has knocked out Visor Man Dan Alspach", he thought I had written "Conor 'Take my knickers out' something something".

John Kabbaj sits down and raises to 5.5k the first hand he plays. two seats down the line, Sorrel Mizzi re-raises to 16.2k. Passed back to Kabbaj who thinks for a minute and then says, "Raise," he puts out the 30k, but no sooner has he done that then Sorrel has announced all-in. Kabbaj shrugs his shoulders and says, "Call." He turns over Ad Ahrt. Sorrel shows Aspades Kc 7s Qc 3s 4d 5h They count down Kabbaj's chips and he has 79.6k before the hand, so now he's over 160k and vying with Pete Linton for the chip lead.

Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on March 22, 2008, 11:18:25 PM Surinder calls a shortstack's push holding 3-3. Shortstacked mateyboy was caught with his fingers in the till but glad to be racing with his 4c 6c.
No 4's or 6's appeared though and Surinder consigns another to the rail, and has done well to work his little stack into something more respectable, holding close to 40k now... Another shortstack mateyboy (who may well have been Robert Cazali ) piles his chips into the middle for 20k, only to find a bigger stacked, but similarly mateyboy-like (although possibly called Tyler Reiman) player shove behind for 70k. All pass leaving the battle of th matey's heads up. Matey one shows A-J - not bad Matey two shows Q-Q - much better. FLOP: Ac 3s Td "Ooohhhh" cry the assembled flock of railbirds.

Holding A-Q he saw an As Qh 5d flop. "I check called an 11k bet..." Turn was the 8d. I checked again, checked behind. RIVER: 6d "I bet out 20k and he raised anohter 30k. You've got Ad Td haven't you? I called. He showed Ad Td. Annoyed with myself i knew what he had but couldn't pass...!" He's still doing well at 100k + though... Graham Clarkson is OUT, recipient of a sick beat vs John Kabbaj.

Abel Meijberg (spelling) and Donal Norton have created a 250k pot, holding 8-2 and A-Q of spades respectively. The board was K-8-2 with two spades and it all ended up in the pot. A Queen appeared on the turn for extra outs, but a spade on the river nailed it for Norton. Abel is forced to nurse his remaining 30k.

Holding A-A he found some action from Rumit for his 43k stack, rumit holding Q-Q.

A lone K on the flop meant he finished in that unenviable spot of one off the money with all dreams of glory, norkage, or even a small cahs profit washed away in bitter tears. Peddigrew actually took his beat quite well, saying "I had a blast!" as he departed. Here's a shot of that crucial exit hand.

Double-ups: Eric Larcheveque, with Kings against Thomas Finneran's A-K. Finneran looked like he was going to be sick when he saw Larcheveque's hand. Larcheveque making victory signs at his railers. I believe one Sean Prendiville, with Eights against someone else's Aces (sorry, I wrote down a number which turns out to be Graham Clarkson; it was not him) - Eight on the flop. Annette O'Carroll, with Q-9 against Pete Linton's A-J. Two Jacks on the flop. I believe she is now OUT though, in an unrelated hand, obviously. OUT: David Albertson, our man-with-the-suits-tattooed-on-his-arm from earlier today, with Jacks against A-K, King on the flop. He looked shellshocked and repeatedly asked me where he had to go to collect his money. I repeatedly didn't know. Title: Re: PaddyPower.com Irish Open: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: danafish on March 23, 2008, 12:40:12 AM can you please tell me Lam Van Trinh still in?

Magnus Hulden, whose awesome heavy metal beard stylings I am sad to say I have not photographed, holding K-T to Lam Trinh's J-Q. Queen on the flop.
