sorry mate 

to busy getting shafted on mansion

Rooks is back over 100k after racing Jacks against b4matt's Ace King. Matt still has 60k. Avg is 100k. Blinds 2k/4k

Jen has gone over 100k too, apparently making a sick but correct call with Ace Jack against Ian Woodley's re-raise all-in to knock him out. He had Ace Ten. 19 left.

Perhaps if one or both make the final tomorrow, I'll take my laptop down and maybe fill in a couple of updates on this thread in between playing the €300 event.

GL rookie and jen

ive been lucky enough to play with jen a few times and her play really impressed me, i reckon if she catches a break then big things could happen for miss mason on the other side of the felt

rooks out 15th!

KK V JJ YOU KNOW THE REST


GUTTED

[LuckyLloyd]

I exited 19th.  When I left Jen had a big tank after playing well for an extended perod and owning poor Ian Woodley on two occassions.

I can confirm to anyone reading this that it is a fantastic tourney with a structure you won't beat. I did my best to defend my title - wasn't to be. Good luck to Jen.

Good luck Jen and Matt.

Jen has made the final. She has 244k, (avg is 210k), most stacks however have between 220 and 290k only Kevin O'Leary is really short, blinds will start at 3k/6k. Rob Bright is still in. Matt Tyler went out to an absolute sickener just before the money when he pushed with Tens versus a button raiser who insta-called with A-9, the board coming 7-8-x-T-6.

I'm probably going to bring my laptop with me to the €300 event tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to post the occasional update. I think Mike Lacey will put up the full chip counts on this thread later.

Yes, final bound after a long day two, where levels like the 600/1,200 and the 2,500/5,000 kept popping out of the woodwork.  I wasn't above average chips once over  the two days until about three levels before the end, when stuff went my way (notably calling Ian Woodley's preflop raise with AA and getting a double up thanks to his KQ hitting top pair on the Q-7-7 flop) and then some other stuff went my way too.  By the time I was in a race position and lost it, I had loads of chips so it didn't matter - what a difference from normal.

It was great to play with the people I remember from last year (and covering at the Irish Open etc.) including Lucky Lloyd, Dave Callaghan and Jim Reid, Matt and Ian too..in fact everyone cool, and the club staffed by good dealers and tea is served in enormous mugs.  There must be some kind of gag opportunity I'm missing there, but I am a bit tired.

I only buy in to one or two biggish buy in comps a year - this one and/or Helsinki, and I can't recommend it highly enough for next time.  That's not just cause I'm still in either...
