Thanks for that. Let us know if theres any more news.

Is that you Sully??? Buster??

Anyone seen this man?

Yet still no news on Jon Hewston?

Well, I've checked a number of times and he's no where to be seen. Please bear in mind that this is the largest ever tournament in Europe with all 708 players starting in one day, so it takes time to find a player, nevermind confirm an exit.

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!

That was me he outdrew with the A5....He then went on to outdraw me twice after that and never even said thanks!!!
How do you pronounce his name??? I have my own special name for him!!!

No it's Kevin McHugh here - just back from game in Keadue. Out in 15th. Enda had a good stack in front of him when I left.  

Brendan just out in 266

lol I truly admire your persistence, but after a dramatic start, we've not seen him...they've been losing a player a minute for a decent while now, and the necessary table shuffling has been occurring, but somehow I think we'd have found him if he'd been moved rather than eliminated.

Brendan McHugh is OUT.

All-in with (I believe he said, "Oh, f*** it as he stuck em in), Brendan was up against and was looking good until the Turn brought the .

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.

The tannoy-ed voice of Liam Flood comes into the pressroom at the kind of decibel level which ordinarily counts as antisocial behaviour and would get a formal warning from Environmental Health...so we are in no doubt that "THIS IS THE LAST HAND THAT WILL BE DEALT TONIGHT.  YOU MUST DO THE CHIP RACE FOR THE PONY CHIPS.  WOULD ALL BLOGGERS PLEASE VACATE..." at this point my left eardrum burst and I had to start packing up.

Paul Gourlay is now one of your chip leaders with 111k after finding Aces and seeing Jacks and then Tens raise before him. Handy.
