Paddypower.com Irish Open : Day 1b - At a glance

[danafish]

Tim Blake limps in mid-position, and the blinds limp and check respectively.

They check the board all the way down to the river, when Tim bets 1k and the blinds both fold. He shows Q-K. He's on around 14k.

Comedy Slowroll of the Day.

The guy sitting next to Tim Blake, in seat 3, is looking like he really wants to call a push from another player across the table. The dealer is counting a clock down and says, "30 seconds," looking at the player in Seat 3. Seat 3 looks at Tim Blake's hands, Tim has already folded his hand. Seat 3 suddenly realises the clock is on him and says, "Oh sorry, I thought you were still in the hand, I have Aces, I call." All-in-matey shows Queens as Seat 3 apologises profusely multiple times for not realising that Tim Blake had already folded. The Aces hold and the guy with Queens takes it pretty well for someone who has just been knocked out.

It's been a fun filled busy day of poker for us all.

So many stories, so many tales of woe and glory.

What a day!

As Dana says we will have full counts most likely tomorrow but it looks like Norwegian Knut Rysstad is the current chip daddy with what is likely to be 100k or thereabouts...

We'll be back tomorrow as today's survivors meet up with day 1a's remaining players to do battle but for now, we're going to wrap things up, cheer Jen on in her omaha cash game, grab a quick sandwich and drink and mentally prepare ourselves for the epic battle ahead.

See you guys (no exceptions now!) at 2:00 pm for the resumption but for now  because I am done!
