Paddy Power Irish Open: Day 1 - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Chris Moorman is now on a massive 71,500 and a real threat to this year's Irish Open.

Raising pre-flop with A-6s, Chris was called and saw a T-9-7 Flop.

Chris bet again, but when called, managed to his an 8 on the Turn for the idiot end of the straight.

Mateyboy pushed all-in with K-Q, and Chris correctly picked off the bluff.

Nice guy Len Collins is running similalry well with 70,050, and his hand, although rather more clinical, also involved a raggy Ace.

Raising pre-flop with A-7s, Len was called in the big blind.

"I was just trying to nick the blinds," said Len, "and when he called I was looking to give it up if I missed, but I managed to flop a flush draw so bet out 4k. He raised it to 8k and I called, only to see the Flush hit the Turn. I checked, he bet 10k and I moved all-in for 23k, albeit with an Oscar winning performance to ensure I got that extra 13k. He turned over 5-3 suited for a smaller flush and I pretty much doubled up."

Roland de Wolfe looks to be 2nd in chip lead to Matin Antar with 93,500.

"No big pots, just lots of medium sized ones."

Nope, sorry, the guy next to his former seat said he went out maybe 2 or 3 hours ago.

Thanks Niall, sorry I couldn't find Eamon, no idea what he looks like, which kind of hidners my chances.

I'll keep an eye out for the McHugh cousins on my next outing in the cardroom.

Andy Black and Teddy Sheringham, the latter chatting up the merchandise girls with Michael Greco, have both been spotted on the rail, so it looks like they bit the dust a while back.

Can I get a chip count ion Jon Young please?

The seat by his name on the list now has this guy on it - a healthy stack of around 95k, but not who you're looking for, I reckon...

[I KNOW IT]

Yet still no news on Jon Hewston?

[snoopy1239]

Scott Hall (22,075), Joe Rafferty (13,950) and Trevor McGooner (42,700).

Here's Bhupinder Kohli, winner of the Climber of the Day prize for this story:

In the second or third level, with 9k against Elvis with a little less, he got it all in with just three raises (him under the gun to 700, small blind raise to 2.5k, him all-in, call).  He held against ... The board came T-J-2-8-9 and he was down to just 900.  Straight away his table was broken and he found himself all-in with A-5 against A-J which he promptly outdrew and never looked back.  "I won every hand I played after that until I got up to 30k."  Trophy for Kohli!
