Paddy Power Irish Open: Final Day - Interactive

[TheReader23]

Just want to add that although Roland has some incredible results, Sorrel would be most poker players favorite at this final table.  He is an online prodigy who is nothing short of amazing.  

He played two $50,000 heads up matches against William Thorson of Sweden at Monte Carlo and won both in a convincing fashion.  Point being, I think Sorrel would be the least likely to deal at this final table, not Roland, especially with a commanding chip lead.

I'm sure a caption comp could come from Benjo's piccy

prob best to not go there though

Play is has now restarted.

[Micko]

Did they def do a deal? Does any1 really no?

[Djinn]

Restart - Chip Counts:

Sorel Mizzi     2,530,000
Marty Smyth  2,765,000
Roland de Wolfe  1,775,000

[Djinn]

Did they def do a deal? Does any1 really no?

Yes, word is that a deal is done.  We believe it.

Blinds are now a staggering 60k/120k so I really don't blame them...

[Micko]

Obviously still worth winning the title with the prospects of sponsorship and all the publicticy that goes with it that could end up being a nice deal for some1

[snoopy1239]

With blinds at 60k and 120k, Sorel raises it up to 350k from the button only for Roland (or Ronnie as we're calling him now) to push all-in.

Sorel called and we have a huge 2.8 million pot.

Roland =

Sorel =

"Come on Ronald!" shout a few members from the crowd. Hmm, who could that have been. 

Flop =

The crowd gasp (not for the first time today) at the prospect of a straight.

I personally commanded an Ace, but although the Turn brought a rather dyer , the Poker Gods replied to my request by popping an on a little boat and pushing it down the River.

As the Ace hit the felt, Roland's expression looked like he'd just been pinched on the bottom.

I suspect Jen...

[Djinn]

And after that, it was basically a formality for Mizzi to call all-in Roland's button bet of 350k on the small blind, which was also called by Marty Smyth in the big blind.  The announcer announced, "It will be a split pot."  Running this through the Translator we've developed, that meant:  "There will be a side pot."

Flop:    check-check  (Mizzi can just watch)
Turn:  Marty bets 400k, called by Roland  (Mizzi probably not loving that)
River:    Now Marty checks and Roland bets 500k... Smyth passes and de Wolfe's take the lot, the chip lead, and finish off his worthy opponent Sorel Mizzi.

Sorel Mizzi, therefore, takes Third Place in this year's Irish Open..(officially €210k, but we reckon more like a chop from fourway with €100k to play for, of course)...

[snoopy1239]

Rumour has it that although the chip stacks were 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 2.8 million in favour of Sorel, he still agreed to an even split and play for the remaining 100k in the pot.

Sounds quite remarkable, huh, if true?

[The_nun]

If i was he i would have been tempted to go one more spot

[snoopy1239]

We are now heads up:

Roland de Wolfe -- 4,000,000
Marty Smyth -- 3,655,000

[londonpokergirl]

Roland still on form  good lad
