Welcome to Waterford guys!
This is Junglecat, just using Snoopy's laptop temporarily till I get down to the casino...
If the super satellite run yesterday evening is anything to go by then today should prove very enjoyable. There's plenty of blondites out in force here as you would expect.
Paul
Garnham
aka M3boy, Dave Shoelace and several other blondes went through in the €50 super satellite rebuy last night but there are plenty of others lurking in the wings, not least of which are our two intrepid updating colleagues, Jen Mason and Snoopy.
Arriving late yesterday, both Jen and Snoops spent the evening in low key fashion carefully preparing for today's tournament (lol) Still a few alka seltzers will sort the pair out and great things are expected of them - no pressure you two!
Colchester Kev, Tightend, Tikay, IrishDenis (and his impeccable hair) will be here to help things run smoothly
Myself and the irrepressible Dana are eagerly anticipating the 7.30 pm start so we can get stuck into all the action. 15,000 starting chips and an hour clock await the players and a superb day of fun poker awaits!
Join us down in Waterford and find out how your friends, fellow blondites and the big names all get on...

Well, the competition is underway!
We kicked off bang on time at 7.30 pm and after a short while we will bring you a seating plan showing all the players and how they are arranged over the 31 tables in play.
What I can tell you is that the fearless Ms Merton Mason has drawn the same table as Dewi so it will be interesting to see if these two blondites stay out of each other's way or get stuck into each other. There could be fireworks if they do!
Tikay wanted us to let you know he was up to 17k early on. This was 10 minutes before the start of the competition though so quite how he managed this, no one is quite sure...he said he had "nicked a few pots." We are still receiving mixed reports of the numbers. 274 players sat down initially but as late arrivals get here, this is increasing all the time, and an excess of 300 is very likely.
One fascinating question is how long will it take for casualties to fall. On the one hand the players have been given a whopping 15,000 chips to play with, which should ensure they have enough depth to survive quite comfortably through the early blind levels. On the other hand, there defiinitely seems to be a spirit of gambling permeating through the hall, so I wouldn't be suprised to see one or two casualties ( at least!) in the early levels. Let's see how it pans out!
Myself and Dana have taken some snaps of the venue which we will post up shortly. As we work our way round the tables, we'll relate all the interesting tales, thought-provoking hands and give you some interesting pictures as we come across them. Enjoy the update, I've a feeling this will be a cracker!
Good luck all!

Ok, well very early on we have our first significant morsel of information...and it's a cracker!
We were busy uploading our photos when the loud microphoned voice of Neil Kelly boomed out "We have an ALLIN on table 19. A-Q versus....9-2!"
Myself and Dana dropped laptops and cameras, donned pens and pads and launched ourselves into the action. Once we had fought our way through the crowds also rushing over to see what was going on, we foudn the dust had settled and the A-Q had held up against Eddie Stuart's 9-2, meaning he is the first elimination of today. Whilst it may seem an unlikely hand to put all your chips in with, it seems he was crippled in the hand before, perhaps mitigating his play slightly.
Mike Lacey, the Green Poker Joker guru, who seems to know every face in poker is off to a flier. He told us he flopped the nut flush with Ah5h and managed to eke a juicy 3k out of his opponent, who I beleive was Michael Dorin, before Michael mucked the river...

You'll be delighted to know that a seating plan has arrived! Rod is even now making the assorted bits of paper into a spreadsheet of some sort, which we then shall post up here somehow. There were 274 players seated at 7.30, a little short of capacity, but new ones are appearing. We'll know numbers for sure at some point in the next hour or two.

Wow, people here are not afraid of getting involved pretty much as soon as they've sat down. I see a bunch of 1000 chips in the middle of the table and a flop reading
out, and I pull up by the table just in time to see the below gent, George Soumelios, bet out 5k. The below lady, one Vera Duffy, flat calls. The turn is the
- again, the gentleman bets 5k and the lady calls. They both hurriedly check the
river, and Ms Duffy shows
- Mr Soumelios mucks, and looks dejected.
Actually, I've just seen him in the queue at the cash desk, so I'm assuming he never quite recovered from that...

Mr Padraig Parkinson is with us today - I saw him button-raise and find a caller in a gent listed on the seating plan only, mysteriously, as "Stefan". Padraig had to lay down his hand when Stefan raised his continuation bet on the
flop.

Whilst we are on the dinner break, I was speaking to a few of the players.
M3boy is building his stack slowly and steadily and has around 17,500.
Tightend has also has a promising start. The main hand of note he played he held A-Q on a Q high flop with two clubs.
After getting check raised to 2.5k after betting out 600, he called "hoping to keep the pot small." The turn blanked and his opponent again bet out 3.3k which tighty called.
The river was a third club and his opponent now moved in for his last 4k...Richard was worried but after watching his opponent for a while, he picked up soemthing which made him think his hand was good and now called the rest of his stack off. His opponent gave him credit for a good call as his Q was good and Tighty was up to 22k.
Snoopy has started slowly and after seeing a few flops that he missed has been reduced down to 12k or so.
Jen has also had a bit of a nightmare, despite the fun she is having on her table, losing a big pot with K-K. Apparently she passed on a flop that didn't have an ace.
She raised to 450 with KK, having raised the last two hands she expected some action and found it as someone in late position called. The flop came
. Jen bet 500 and was re-raised to 2k. She now made it 6k and her opponent shoved. She passed the Kings face up convinced that her opponent had 8-8 or J-J..."When I get 4 bet by that guy, I'm behind", she told us...
Compo is up to 40k as well. "playing your usual tight game then?" I inquired. "Of course, I only ever play premium hands" he replied, somewhat misleadingly since he then added "6-7, 2-4, nothing out of order!"
The players are just re-seating now after the break. Let's see what happens in the 75-150 level!

Astounding Outdraw News!
Cards on their backs before the flop, one Mr Steven K-illegible, was not really expecting his
to win once he saw his all-in opponent's
(one Mr Nicky O'Donnell).
Oh, but look!
Board -
And to astounded cries along the lines of "you sick sick little boy!" from those gathered around the table, an obviously delighted Mr K knocks out a rather less delighted Mr O'Donnell. O'Donnell submits to Mr K's hugging, perhaps out of shock.

On Table Tikay, Gary Clarke becomes Involved with one Roger Killear (barring spelling mistakes). The flop reads
and Gary is all in - eventually Killear calls.
Killear -
Clarke -
Turn -
River -
And with the rivered straight, Gary doubles up. Superbaaaad.
I promise I'll stop now.

UPDATER UPDATE:
Jen has been moved to Table Tikay, and is on 10,575.
Snoopy has 11.1k and didn't look very happy so I sneakily took a photo of him from behind.

Threeway all-in action!
The flop reads
and William Collins pushes; behind him one Lean Tracy calls, and one Kevin Hickey is now left with a big decision to make. He takes his time about it - eventually he has the clock called on him after five minutes or so. He calls!
Collins -
Tracy -
Hickey -
Turn -
River -
So Hickey triples up. Meanwhile Collins is down, and Tracy is out.

OUTages galore over here.
I caught the outage of Mr Mike O'Keefe at the hands of Niall McNamara. The board reads
and McNamara bets. Mr O'Keefe dwells up, and then to mind unexpectedly moves in (admittedly not for a massive amount compared to the pot). Instacall.
McNamara shows
for an impressive set, and O'Keefe mucks and makes his exit.

Another OUTage - a gent we believe to be Mr Tony Wolley is gone at the hands of Dewi Now-Looking-Pretty-Cool. Mr Wolley apparently was holding Aces and bet 4k on the 8-high flop; unfortunately for him, Dewi was holding pocket Eights, and moved in. Mr Wolley just couldn't get away, and it cost him his tournament life.
Dewi doesn't look that happy about any of this as he rakes in his new chips. He looks like he means
business
