Later tonight on Irish TV we think. We're hoping for a 1-hand turnover. :)

 00:10 RTE Sport on Two: Poker The Irish Poker Championship. Laura Woods presents action from the latest heat in Galway. With commentary by Jesse May.

Goooooooooooooooooood Luckkkkkkkkkkkkkk Tim and Tommy....... Shoot for the moon...

Hello everybody

today, none of those player s is my pick, so GL to all!

Do they look like they are starting yet?

Great coverage.  Good luck Neil.  (£2 at 250).

None of the players are sitting down yet. We could be a while.

Not yet. The technicians are still fiddling with cameras and eating croissants so it may be a short time before things actually kick off.

Plus Neil Channing is still in make up...

Come Tommy D bring it home!!!!!

Tim Blake is well prepared for today's final despite bizarre dreams about coldecks and five aces in the packs.

Who can stop the Tim-inator???

Win this one Tim and you stand a chance of Becomining Corbys NO1 poker player.

People have been saying the blonde updaters are looking a little jaded today...

I disagree...

A huge cheer erupted when Donal Norton was introduced, like Obi-Wan Kenobi, he's the only hope for the Irish now.

Ok, this is incredibly lame. They're not announcing any hands for the audience.

gl tim, neil and thomas

cheers Tim.... go get em now.....Shoot for the moon

Good luck to Neil and Tim but not thinking that Neil needs much more luck, think he might be "in the zone" to take down this baby.  Great updates you 3 x

Some crying and foot-stomping, and everything is being announced. :)

FYP

I expect it's been a while since Tim's been described as lean. :D

We have had an elimination...

A little tricky to follow the earlier action, Donal Norton set Edwin Tournier in on the river of a J-J-4-Q-K board.

Edwin tabled K-7 for top pair, but Donal's J-T trips were MILES ahead, meaning we have our first elimination of the day and

..........Dutchman Edwin Tournier is OUT, eliminated in 6th spot, winning €135,000.

With that coup, popular Irishman Donal Norton has boosted his chip stack considerably to a total of 1.6 million!!!!!!!!! chips.

Donal raises to 140k. Neil re-raises to 400k. Donal passes and unlike when the Irishman won the earlier pots, there's a silence around the room from this partisan crowd.

Neil raises to 145k on the button, he takes the blinds.

Neil is at it again, 145k from the cut-off. Tim Blake makes it 400k from the button and Neil folds.

FT highlights are on Irish TV RTE2 at 12:10am 2nite for anyone who can view RTE...

No messing about then.

That's better. :D

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13327&g2_serialNumber=1)

Channing's won it!

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13321&g2_serialNumber=1)


Only kidding! Here are the rest of them making their entrances a little while ago:

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13319&g2_serialNumber=1)

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13323&g2_serialNumber=1)

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13325&g2_serialNumber=1)

Other than that early elimination play so far has been relatively quiet...

Neil has been the most aggressive thusfar, but no one has challenged his preflop raises yet, meaning he has picked up several sets of chunky blinds (93k!)

As if to illustrate this point conveniently for me Channing makes it 200k from the SB on Tim's BB

Tim quickly passes though, refusing to take on Channing yet...

---

Soon after Tim raises to 125k on the button, but this time he meets resistance from Kai who re-raises to 350k...

The Tim-inator backs down this time....but he'll be back...

Shhh, you'll wreck your ;nipnip; chances.

You're right, I take it back. The Timinator is a lean, mean poker machine. Nip nip.

Neil raises to 145k utg. Donal re-raises to 600k from the big blind. Neil folds and a ripple of "Gooooo onnnnn Donal" breaks out.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13331&g2_serialNumber=1)

Donal Norton has re-raised the Channingator all in - that's twice in a row for the Norton/Channing re-raising. Eek. Both times the Channingator has passed, as though Neil-ing before his Donal-tar, or something. More coffee, please.

In fact no-one is taking any nonsense from the Jokinator. Neil is raising every hand, and then passing it when he's re-raised. Most recently - Neil makes it 160k, and passes when Kai makes it 450k.

I apologise on behalf of my colleague, who is under the impression that the suffix -ator can be attached to any name or place to create an amusing nickname.

The Dana-nator is a delusional young lady.

I AM THE COFFEENATOR

I have to say, the lack of announcing until such a time as someone goes all in, combined with the putting of the TV table in a little arena such that we can't see what's going on up there, is putting a bit of a damper on us actually reporting the regular everyday raise-button-everybody-fold/check-check-check-bet-everybody-fold/brutal-murder-of-everybody-with-poison-gas etc action...

Tim raises it up to 150k, Donal calls...

4c Ad 3c

Both players check it quickly.

TURN: 9h.

Donal bets 200k, the Tim-inator lays it down swiftly and Donal takes it down to raucous cheers from his boisterous fan base!!

Good Luck to both Tim & Neil, who are two of Poker's most respected & decent guys. As are the others, obviously. But Tim & Neil both deserve this IMO, proper Gents, boith of 'em.

I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying these updates...Who gives a crap about the EPT in Warsaw?..This is where the real fun is. Top class updates all..especially that Jungle Cat fella who has a fantastically toned body and shows no signs of moobage...(and I'm not just saying that cus you lot are in Nottingham next week ;)

Thomas Dunwoodie moves all-in from the small blind and Donal Norton calls instantly.

Thomas: Aspades Jd

Donal: Ad Th

Board: Js Kd 8s Tc 9c

"Goooo oooooooooooooooon Tommy," shout a few deep-voiced men in the audience.

He now has just over 700k.

Donal limps utg, Thomas checks in the big blind.

9-7-5 (no suits are announced)

Check check

Ahrt

Thomas checks, Donal bets 100k, Thomas calls.

Jc

Both players check, Thomas' 8-5 is good enough against Donal's King high.

You're making Michael Schulze cry.  :'(

who?

Good Luck Tim....so far so good (the champage is on you!!!!)

Tim makes it 200k-inator to go, but nobody wants to to mess with him and he picks up the blinds, to some half-hearted applause from the largely pro-Donal audience.

The announcer, who has possibly been nudged into announcing a bit more than previously, is apparently so unimpressed with the level of action that he is re-announcing the earlier exit of Edwin Tournier.

There's an EPT in Warsaw?  :dontask:

The Channingator makes it 175k from the small blind; the Blake-inator passes pocket Deuces.

By the way all you Guests reading the updates, only you can save one of our updating number from a fate worse than or equal to death!

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13189&g2_serialNumber=1)

Plus you'll be able to insult us directly if you do.

Thomas raises to 150k, Donal re-raises to 400k. Thomas passes, showing an Ace. Donal shows Queens and gets a few chips back to the relief of the watching Irish.

yeah but you wouldn't like to have played it...it wasn't televised ;)

That's why I didn't know it was on.  ;)

go on tommy

Tim Blake and Thomas Dunwoodie brawling...Just kidding they're good friends. (And actually Tim is punching himself before Thomas can get a shot in...)

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13333&g2_serialNumber=1)

WOW! Big big big pot alert...

Neil Channing and Kai Danilo Paulsen see a 6d 8c Ks flop and I beleive Kai bet and Channing called.

The turn is the Ts.

Bet from Kai of 150k ish, raise from Channing to 450k.

Kai now tanks...Neil sits there patiently with his arms crossed...

...After much thought kai now moves allin, Neil instantly calls him. A brave call from Neil, turning over 7d 9h FOR THE NUT STRAIGHT!!!!

Kai shows down Kh Jd for top pair alone, meaning he is drawing dead, and an irrelevant card falls on the river. Channing receives the plaudits from the crowd, who applaud his win, whilst also giving credit to Kai for his sterling, attritional performance but that pot means...

Kai Danilo Paulsen is OUT, eliminated in 5th spot, winning €175,000.

Great game sir!

The jokinator picks up the chips and is wearing a broad grin from ear to ear...

(http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/joker%201.jpg)

Donal raises to 200k from the button, Neil re-raises to 600k. Donal calls.

Jerome Bradpiece says, "Seems like a monster to flat-call the 600k..."

5c Td 6c

Neil checks, Donal moves all-in and Neil folds. Eruptions of cheers from the crowd once more, seems like they're desperate to see the title stay in Irish hands, and with Norton in clear 2nd place, there's still a chance.

is that chocolate ice cream on your nose?

All the very best to Tim and Tom ......

....... bring it home boys,

Ian.

Go on Tim and Tommy --- interrupt the Neil and DOnal show....

big tommy will win this   go tommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Tim Blake moves all-in and Donal Norton calls

Tim fist pumps and shows Ad Ac, Donal shows Kc 9d and the announcer offers that Tim has both suits covered as an added bonus.

2h 4h Js 7c Qh

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13339&g2_serialNumber=1)

Tim doubles up to shouts of "COME ON TIMMMMMMMMMMMMY!" but he's only up to around 450k due to the incredibly hefty blinds and antes.

(http://pics.soohrt.org/misc/timmy.jpg)

best of luck donal keep it at home where it belongs mate

Any chance of approximate chip counts (pretty please with sugar on top)

Get in Timbooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Any chance of a rough chip count please.

I guess the live RNG is ****ed as the turn wasn't a ten against Tim's AA!

Entrants: 667

Starting Chips: 10,000
Players Left: 3

Average Chips: 2,223,333
On Break

level: 26 - 30,000/60,000/4,000


Whose gone?

It looks like Tim now has around 400k or so in chips following that hand...

---

Neil raises to 180k re-raised allin by Tim!!! It's 198k to Neil to call...He has to call and does....

Tim shows Kc Jc, Neil shows Qs 6h offsuit...

The board comes.......9d Ahrt Qd! Neil shoots into the lead...

TURN: 5d

RIVER: Qh! Trips for Neil, K hi for Tim.

The Jokinator shoots down any opponent in flames, but a cracking performance from the genial and talented Tim-inator is rewarded as ...........

Tim Blake is OUT, eliminated in 4th place, winning €220,000 for his performance.

"I'll be BLAKE" says the Tim-inator as he leaves. Probably. One more picture of Tim to come...

ok dana ex guest now newbie who couldnt live wit fluffy on my conscience . Doin a gr8 job of keepin us up to date. Go timbooooo my old mucker

oop looks like i jinxed blakey nice one tim proud of ya

Fabulous performance Tim --- keep putting yourself in positions like this and the win will come. Brilliant buddy.

Though Tim couldn't quite take down the title this time, he remains a danger man and I think there's little doubt that...


(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13351&g2_serialNumber=1)

3 handed now, the TD has announced a short break for the players to refresh themselves before the final battle commences...

---

3 handed, here are the standings for now...


Thomas Dunwoodie 422k
Donal Norton 2.334 MILLION!!!!!
Neil Channing  3.890 MILLION!!!!

FYP

Coffee!

 ;D

Thanks.

I mean, they'll be taking their seats within about a minute. Please stand by...

On its way. You want it white or BLAKE?

You're blake-ing my heart with all these puns.

I warned Dana if she kept this up I would punish her, and I'm not one to BLAKE a promise...

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13358&g2_serialNumber=1)

She'll have to learn to blake the rough with the smooth.

Completely ignoring my image under the heading "World Of Cow", the gentlemen see a flop; it is Js 5s Five-of-another-suit; Neil bets 150k and the others quickly fold.

are you guys bored by any chance ?

Is it that Blake-tantly obvious?

We're just blake-ing the most of it.

Actually there's a delay for every hand because of the TV stuff, so it's a bit slow. Thomas Dunwoodie really needs a double up or two otherwise it'll be a Channing vs Norton heads-up

tommy's done a good job of laddering here, well done laddo!

Thomas Dunwoodie moves allin, CALLED by Donal Norton!

Dunwoodie: Ac 4h
Norton: Aspades 5h!

Mild advantage for Norton with his superior kicker, but most likely to end up in a split, that is what happens when an 8c Td Jd 6h Qs board ensues.

(http://www.jefftheaddchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/pork-chop-olive-oil-kosher-salt.jpg) it up folks!

And Thomas moves in again and Norton calls. Thomas is so short at this point that he probably can't believe that his 9s 7d is ahead of Norton's 8d 5h!

2h Qc Qd 6d 4h.

Nine-high is good enough to put him up to about 800k.

His prospects still look a bit blake at the moment though.

His confidence rising, Thomas shoves from the button...

The blinds both pass and he adds a very useful 102k to his stack...

ATTENTION - series of big hands a-following.

Dunwoodie: He done good-y

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13360&g2_serialNumber=1)

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13364&g2_serialNumber=1)

That's not a chop. Looks more like a couple rashers of Blake-on to me.

Neil shoves from the small blind on Dunwoodie's BB as he did last round and Thomas CALLS!!!!

Neil: Ahrt 7c

Thomas: Ad 8h

Thomas has Neil dominated. Great chance to double through again to almost 2 million!

FLOP: 4h Qd 3c

TURN: 9c

RIVER: 7s ! OMG sick river for Channing scuppers Dunwoodie's chances of doubling through. Channing pads his stack yet further whilst...

Thomas Dunwoodie is OUT, eliminated in 3rd spot, winning €275,000 for his troubles. A great pay day for Thomas, whose superb performance receives an appropriately superb reward...

unlucky tommy - brilliant performance.... enjoy the making of tomorrow's hangover.....

Looks like the Chan man is unstoppable. Gl Neil

Thomas Dunwoodie leaves us.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13366&g2_serialNumber=1)

Go on Neil  You can do it!! x

 ;mexicanwave; GO! NEIL GO!   ;mexicanwave;

Heads Up Chip Counts For Our FINAL TWO!!!!!!!!

Neil Channing - 4.436 MILLION!!!!!!!
Donal Norton - 2.234 MILLION!!!!!!

Relatively cagey heads up play so far - they are taking it in turns to steal the blinds from the button with around 150k or so. Also a degree of limping/checking/pot being awarded to whoever bets first on the flop.

Bloody hell. Sounds like a cracking tourney.

Come on Channing, do the red shirt even more proud and take this down.

Gonna be a very chuffed PV office tomorrow...

Yes, but I reckon the dam will blake burst soon.

Was there absolutely no talk of a deal or a saver of any kind?

I have to say I'm rooting for the local lad done good here so C'mon Donal!!

I don't think so, Neil did have some money on himself at 100-1 yesterday.. We haven't seen anything like a saver or something along those lines.

On the turn of a 8c 9c 6c 8d, Donal raises Neil's bet from, I think 150k to 400k. Neil calls. The river is the Aspades, and Donal bets 400k, Neil calls and Donal shows J-8, Neil though is holding K-8. King plays and Neil takes down the first big pot of the heads-up battle.

I heard the Joker had a BIG lump on himself with PP at 100/1. Nice bet!! No wonder he's trying hard

Really hope Donal wins this, but I played with Neil on day 2 for a while and he was a pleasure to play with so if it has to go out of Iirish hands they are good ones to go into.

Come on Donal though, keep it at home!!!!

Oh that pot hurt! Donal is going to have to go into ninja mode!

Best of luck donal

It's all over. WP Neill and Donal. Congrats Neil

Oh my word, just as I think my spirit is going to Blake, we have a WINNER!!!!!!

All in pre, we have a good old-fashioned race.

Neil Channing - Ac 9h
Donal Norton - 5s 5c

Board - Qc Aspades Tc Kc Ahrt

...And there is Norton more the local boy can do because Donal Norton is OUT in 2nd place winning €420,000

...leaving us to conclude that Neil Channing is the WINNER!!!! of the 2008 PaddyPower.com Irish Open, winning €801,400, plus whatever ludicrous sum he won betting on himself for the win!

Photos etc to follow. Congratulations all!

You are too quick Olly. WP Donal, and congrats to Neil.

Get in.

Brilliant result, well played Mr Channing.

What happened to the hair updates....

Owing to me leaving my hairbrush somewhere, my hair, like the rest of me, is a bit frazzled. Sorry. Never mind! Until next time folks,  ;stickaforkinme;
