Irish Poker Championships: Day 1 - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Woohoo, we have a playerlist folks!

Just typing them up now, bear with us.

Forget numbers, these tables have names!

[Djinn]

The Tables are named for us this time round - but I think it confused the latecomers who were faced with a bewildering forest of tables and no real order to their situation... we're going to give them numbers for the sheer sake of ease of reference, but because it's an interesting, if impractical, touch, here they are in their original glory, with players:

Table Antrim

Stig Top-Rasmussen
Brian Warren
Martin O'Rafferty
Michael Teimby
Kristin Lorsen
Nick Power
Quin Troinee

Now there's a centre parting you could set your watch to.

[snoopy1239]

Sean O'Liathais is down to the felt after losing an A-K vs A-A confrontation vesus Paul Roper.

Two clubs came giving Sean some hope with the Ace, but nothing came of it leaving the Irishman painfully short.

[Djinn]

Just recently eliminated is Gentleman Liam Flood, who stopped by our media mound to tell us that it was the which got him too (the third to be busted by Rockets so far today).

He re-raised preflop, and received a caller (with as it turned out).  The flop came .  Mr. Jacks checked, Liam bet, he called.  The turn brought the , however, and it was all in and call with the end result - OUT.  But still smiling.  Even after the announcer called for a round of applause from the tournament room for the Gentleman, "who'd played his Aces badly!"
