Irish Open: Interactive Thread

Stu Rutter is positively flush.  He has gone from 5k to 24k whilst being all in 5 times and winning 3 of them.

He also knocked out Paul Gourlay with AJ v KJ and left Gourlay reeling after just hearing about the free drinks in the players lounge.  It's ok, Paul can probably just buy out the entire bar!!

Apparantly Andrew Feldman just folded a set of nines to a river bet from Donkowski (real name).  The river just made a backdoor flush but gave donkowski top 2 pair.  Feldman showed his set and the guy obligingly showed him the worst hand

from another blogger with our hosts PaddyPower (thanks to him)

I joined the action on table 4 as a large crowd developed to watch a 3 way pot. Mickey Petersem was all in, leaving Tyler Bonkowski and Andrew Feldman to battle it out for the 20 odd k in the middle. With the board reading -9s-4d-6c-Jc Bonkowski led the river for 12.5k, sending Feldman into the tank. After several minutes the clock was called as Feldman agonisingly mulled over the decision before him. When the ten second warning came Feldman folded his hand but was certainly not happy about it, it looked like a mother giving her child away! Worse was to come though as Bonkowski realised that his intended value bet had become a bluff; asking Feldman if he folded a set. Feldman flipped over 99 for middle set while Bonkowski got the old needle in by showing KJo for top two. Bonkowski’s stack is now up to 75k.

It's a bit blurred, but here is one of your live feed commentators Rebecca MacAdam

Inadvertently (sort of) I managed to diss her co-commentator (Emmett somebody) who when I positioned myself in front of their commentary station perked up, removed his headphones and straightened his hair while we waited for Rebecca to finish commentating shut up

Sorry" I said to the earnest gentleman "I just need one of Rebecca"

If the commentary is a bit subdued for the next level, you know why, his spirit is crushed.

Cos was upto 82k down to 65k and now currently residing on 72k.  With table mates big stacked Ross Boatman, Ben Roberts & the WSOP near final tablist John Magill, I suspect things will be lively.

Julian steady on 17k
Jen slightly up 95k and staying quiet.
Ben Dobson  20k

James Mithcell battled pre flop with his oppo's 20k stack but came up against QUEENS which were triumphant v his JACKS.

He still has 3 tall stacks behind (very descriptive I know lol).

The organisers tell me that "in theory" we shall be playing 6 levels today.  

If we hit the money at 72 players though, the day will definately come to a stop!

Currently 170 players remaining.

DTD Qualifier Tony Millan is out

Frustrated he tells me he moved table, first hand sitting down he got dealt KK on a misdeal. Next hand he defends in the big blind with QJ. Q high flop two clubs, the raiser with AcKc turns a flush, money in on the flop

That leaves Jonathn Butters with 50,000 and Jason Herbert with 40,000 flying the DTD flag



Jeff Kimber is out. He tells me "The lunatic on the table manages to find Aces on my big blind. I defend with Q-10, 10 high flop sinks me"

The lunatic is Dublin's Thomas "The Bomber" Nolan. I must stress that it is The Bomber with a capital "B". He's about ten pints into today and I wasn't going to argue with him

Maria, Constantine (I back him Online, but not live) and I lunched in a local hostelry

This was on the Specials board

Honey and Roast Parsley soup.


Twenty minutes after discovering this I was still pondering how you Roast Parsley. Or any herb for that matter. Maria's eyes were glazing over, Cos was trying to watch the football

Just as they were about to leave me in disdain at my OCD, the answer emerged on a board behind us. Spelt correctly, Roast Parsnip.
