Irish Poker Championships: Day 1 - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Play will commence at 6pm.

I'm still in the UK, but Jen and I will be flying over to Dublin first thing tomorrow morning.

We are very much looking forward to this event. I'm not sure how many familiar names will be playing, but with a 1.5k buy-in, 400 thick field and sky cameras capturing the action, a few of the big guns might have been lured in last minute. Either way, we intend to do our very best to bring you the strongest live updates around.

Whilst browsing the net recently, I came across a thread on boards.ie which discussed this event. Many members were slighty bemused that Antes Up weren't doing the updates, but from what I understand, the two Irish lads may still be making an appearance. We have a great relationship with Mike and Tom so would dearly love them to show their mugs. However, if they don't, please rest assured that we will do our utmost to deliver all the action as it happens via the magic of the Internet.

I understand there are a lot of Irish folk out there keen to see how the locals are doing, so please please please feel free to shout out their names on this thread so we can keep an eye out for them. Often we don't provide chip counts for some players, but that is nearly always due to a lack of a player list and a distinct unfamiliarity with the players in question. We try to be as unbiased as possible, so if you would like us to follow a family member, friend or even arch enemy that we perhaps won't know the name of, then please let us know by posting their name below.

cheers,

Arch enemy implies that he confounds your every move...

I fly at 8am. I don't usualy go to bed until 4/5am anyway, so my plan is to stay awake tonight and sleep for a few hours when I get there.

Where do you fly from Snoop, and what time?

[snoopy1239]

11.55, RyanAir from somwhere in London. My spider senses inform me that it is either Luton, Heathrow or er... that other one.

I hope those updaters have got a note from their mums ..... Lateness will not be tolerated !!!  BLIND THEM AWAY !!!

Tournament start delayed until, well, about now.

A very very brief intro and welcome, and the players, who took to their seats with unusual alacrity, are starting their first 1hr blind level.

which started exactly 2 mins 38 seconds ago.

We weren't late, although you'd be surprised how long it takes to get from Dublin Airport to the Citywest Hotel by public transport and on foot.  Try 3 hours.
