How about this for a hand??

John Clancey raises from under the gun, Skigo John smooth calls, Kevin Buckley moves all-in for an extra 11.5k, Chris Smith moves all-in, Clancey re-re-raises and Sligo John, who said he felt this was his hand and that Clancey was trying to push him off with a vulnerable hand, folds .

On their backs, and take a look at this...

John Clancey =

Kevin Buckley =

Chris Smith =

Of course, the crowd wanted an action flop, but it didn't happen.

Flop =

However, the Turn brought tension to 2 players.

Turn =

Only for them to breathe a sigh of relief on the River.

River =

Sligo John, who almost made a suspect call for all his chips, didn't look best pleased.

With 26 players remaining, your current chip leader is the rather 'hard as nailz' looking Keith Cummins from Kerry with a massive 425,800.

Sligo John likes the slow theatrical folds. Regularly takes forever to fold when he's NEVER calling. If we're ever on same table in a tournament, I'll be calling clock on him twice a lap.

Trevor McGooner (excuse the spelling if this is incorrect) just knocked out the 27th place, calling an all-in (albeit a short one) with .  He couldn't have been in much better shape against , though, and the board came A A 8 10, before bringing a low card and making the 9 the crucial outkicker.

Here he is, performing the re-stack with unnatural speed.

Was he ever going to call with that King-Queen? He assured people that he almost did.

Never in a million years. Just likes the attention.

Hi KP, I'm friends with your cousin Barry "The Hammer" Cunningham. Go on Caimin Kennedy!!!

Hi KP, I'm friends with your cousin Barry "The Hammer" Cunningham. Go on Caimin Kennedy!!!

Caimin's doing great. Barry told me Caimin qualified for the princely sum of 10 euro through a series of feeder satellites. Great story already, but total fairytale if he can land a really nice touch!

Paul Morrow (who is now OUT) pictured here...

On a flop of   Paul Morrow got the full 127,200 in with , against John Clancy who called the final raise with .
on the turn, and a blank river, and half the English players just pressed the red button.

Surely on that board the 10 is the kicker? o_O

Time to jump aboard the bad bead bus. woooo woooo

Tom McDaid runs Jacks into Dermot Jacob's Kings, but a Jack on the Flop with a J-T-2-9-7 board provokes him into leaping into the air shouting, "Get it up there".

What we are getting up and where 'up' is precisely, I am unsure.
