Double through for Roland!

Seconds after getting pushed off preflop by a re-raise from Danny McHugh, Roland raises again in early position to 175k.  Sorel Mizzi wakes up suddenly in the cutoff, re-raising to a half a mil... Roland quickly moves in, and for about 300k more he gets a call.
Roland shows: 
Sorel shows: 

Flop: 
Turn: 
River:    and a pot which could have seen off a dangerous medium stack to Sorel, instead gets him up to 1.5 mil. 

It turns out that 2 kings and 2 aces had already been folded in that hand with De Wolfe and the chip leader so he was drawing to 2 out the lucky ******. Put his name on the trophy!!!

There are more ways of winning with AK v 33 than just hitting an ace or a king. You make your own luck in this game and roland is very good (read lucky) in these situations. The best quote on challenge TV at the minute is a clip of roland in a cash game saying, "I am the luckier player, I am the better player and I got position". Sums him up and I still believe quoting him at 14-1 at the start of the day has revved him up, he will have taken offence at being that price.

Those bookies must be ruing (sp?) the day. Roland to win, he's lucky.......and good.

After Brian O'Keeffe took the blinds and antes (now worth 118k) twice in a row, Roland de Wolfe raised to 175k only to be re-raised all-in by Thomas Finneran.

386k more for Roland, but he folds, showing a pair of threes in the process.

what time is break and how long is break

About 20 minutes - both questions (I think)

[Micko]

A rough count for marty smyth?

[Djinn]

Last Five Hands (I am hoping that quantity will make up for total lack of flops this level):

1)  Brian O'Keeffe gets the blinds+antes with an utg raise to 200k
2)  Small blind Danny McHugh pushes in when it gets folded to him, which gets rid of the big blind
3)  Roland raises to 200k, big blind Sorel Mizzi re-raises to 600k and Roland passes
4)  Small blind Sorel tries to limp on Marty Smyths big blind - instaraise, instapass
5)  Roland makes it 175k to go, only to pass to Brian O'Keeffe's push in.  He said he had Kings - that's as close as we've been to seeing a card.

I see Daniel Negreanu has done a blog about Ram and Marc Goodwin not payin Mr Ivey up hes backin his mate surprise surprise lol

Meanwhile, in the other half of the ballroom - another large field, short clock side event (rebuy, I think) has coaxed the weary players out once more to play cards rather than go out in Dublin.  Dave Colclough was in here a minute ago, looking for the elusive quiet available in the press room... expect a late night for them - he said that last time he finalled in one-day side events in Ireland it was around the 7am mark.

Hi Coilltes, Is Mizzi a bit of a RAGGED or the other way around. PP report Mizzi had 50k on Wolfe at 12/1 at midday today. Nice thinking but reckon danny has the guts for it - and the new outfit !!!
