Could be a quick one this...

And another one!

Hot on Dermot's heels, short stacked Stewart Samuels moves in for 84,000 prefllop.  Announcer Fintan Gavin says, "And Stewart is all in.  Action is with Keith.  Who can aff-"  before cutting himself short as the audience chuckle and go, "Yeah - call!"  I remember being amused when a similar thing happened in EPT Baden, when the TD basically said, "And another raise here, it's a steal folks."  Funny, but not cricket for the players...

Anyway, Keith Cummins decides to call the all-in with his ; Stewart shows .
Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

So Stewart Samuels finishes in 8th place, winning €12,000

As for the slight discrepancy between published prizes and what was announced a minute ago - it turns out that €2,000 was taken off the top two spots to give 28th and 29th a prize too.

Thanks to the all-knowing Paul Whiting, pictured, for the only really reliable information we've received in the last 24 hours.

Scott Byron raised from the button, Terry McDaid re-raised from the small blind and Scott called.

The 8-5-2-9-T Flop was checked all the way, only for Terry to take it down with A-9.

In what many described as bad form, he then asked to see Scott's cards as he tried to muck them.

The tournament director turned them over to reveal A-3.

"Dario is certainly very Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-sive."

[Djinn]

Blinds up to 6,000/12,000 ante 1,000

Just now 100k changed hands with no flop as Ciaran Burke raised, Keith Cummins re-raised and after a self-count, he passed.

Quick question for the blondeites.

Can you tell a man's Irish just by looking at him?

[snoopy1239]

On a sidenote, blondeite Mick 'Slick Kid' McCool has made it through to the final 3 of the €750 side event and is on for his biggest win thus far. 1st is around the 40k mark I hear.

Yes, but not by an Irish dog's bark,


Is that Paul from Brighton? Say hi from me if it is please!

[Djinn]

Double Up for Colette Murphy...

She gets a call for her all-in with from Kieran Burke's .  Another pair vs. overcards setup - so far that's all we've seen.
Flop:
Turn: 
River:    and those extra outs received on the flop come through for Smurf and she's really in with a chance of the top spots now.

[Royal Flush]

Can you wish him GL from me please
