Irish Poker Championships: Day 2 - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Kevin Buckley has surpassed the 30k mark after finding 8-8 vs A-J on a very tasty J-8-x Flop. Noice!

And here is the victorious Kevin Buckley after winning that pot...

But photo of the day, maybe even month, has to go to this chap, Ireland's Neil Kelly.

Would you mess with him, looks kinda psychotic?

The Bandit Peter Evans is still plugging away, although Kerry Keith (from Kerry I believe) just gave him one hell of a stare down.

Keith raised to 2.7k pre-flop, only for Peter to move all-in on the Big Blind for around 17k.

Kerry Keith stared and stared and stared, and although The Bandit was scratching his nose, licking his lips and generally looking rather fidgety (double bluff, perhaps?), Keith eventually folded.

Some chip counts from around the room, which is being mixed up like a poker blender as players bust out every few minutes and the tables broken down - we're finding our lists of players (which only just appeared in their entirety) are not a lot of help any more.

Kieran Small      41,000
Billy Ngo           30,000
Dinh Le            8,000
Collette Murphy  30,000
Jim Reid             34,000
Mats Iremark      20,000
Thomas Dunwoodie  27,500
tikay                  14,000
Dan Smith          77,000
Sligo John          107,000
Stephen MacLean  46,000
Peter Evans         24,000
Sean Clery          20,000  (apparently driving his table slightly nuts)

John Keown is OUT.

In fact, his exit has led to Richie Lawlor taking the chip lead with over 100k.

First off, Richie bust his Pocket Queens with 9-7 a nine high flop, and then, the very next hand, Richie finished him off with Tens vs T-8 on Ten high board.

Looks like we have a terminator on our hands. The Richimator?? I'll get my coat.

"Didn't respect my under the gun raise then?" adds Nick.

Can someone teach nick just to say nice hand! Seems every time he gets knocked out it comes with a comment.

I'll pass the message on. I'll use your new name. He'll still guess it's you though...

Just seems he always complains that he is better than his oppo but they get lucky.

I would put a lot of money on Dave O'Callaghan in a match vs Nick, he is an exceptional player.

 Dave O'Callaghan............., he is an exceptional player.

This chap, who I believe (aslong as no one has moved from the seat since the start of the day) is Albert Alexander, is down to just 10k after being demolished by (Kerry) Keith Cummins.

Pre-flop action (I think Albert raised and Keith called) before Albert moved all-in on a Flop.

After a lenghty dwell, Keith makes a good call with Pocket Tens which stands up against Albert's A-5.

Stephen MacLean - poker player, entrepreneur and above-average stack holder...

[Djinn]

His tablemate (and button when he's big blind...) Sean Carey, who looks to me a bit like a thin Greg Raymer (just imagine some weird sunglasses on him)..

That's a very impressive forehead, a match for Ant, from Ant & Dec.

Speaking of Sean, he's just given his neighbour the thumbs up after he folded to Sean's check raise on a Flop of T-8-A. "Good fold," he announces as he revealse A-Q.
