Irish Open: Interactive Thread

[Chili]

Marc Wright is OUT.

He lost a big pot to his neighbour who he tangled with earlier.  Marc held JQ on a 10 9 6 flop but his oppo held J10 and held.

That hand left him with 3 bigs so he shoved with A9 and the big blind checked down his 74 to take the pot and the scalp of our railtard1.

Chip leader, I think, is Ciaran Taggart. 150,000 or so

"Who is he?" I enquire of my Irish blogger counterparts

I am told

"Young lad, was a dealer and got put into a few tournaments. Tore them up, gave up poker dealing and here he is"


He finished 3rd in the Green Joker Shorthanded, which is his major result to date

Players are now on a 20 min break.  We'll return with Level 11:

blinds 600 / 1,200 (100)
165 players
average 42,900

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.

nice life cos, gl buddy.

 

my sentiments exactly, go on cos. gl toby, romanello's, jen, james, rob etcetc and about time camel had a score.

Jen Mason 95,000 at the break

"should have 130,000 but I out-thought myself just then. Still, going well and enjoying it"

Is that Matt Bell as in Badbeat's ? FlukeSkywalker :-)

Yes Indeed it is, I was just talking to him at the break.  He is currently on 28k.

Ross Boatman at the break was kinda annoyed by calling off 16k to a shove UTG who had Queens.

I asked if he donated to my mate Cos.  He says "Dunno, which one is he?"
I told him "It's the Jewish looking kid but is infact Greek."
Ross - "Oh is he Greek really?...........Yeah he definately looks Jewish!"

Meanwhile back in UK,

Hot favorites Oxford led the boat race for the first half of the race,

 but after the bends Cambridge pulled ahead more than a boats length to go on to win

The Oxford team blamed the wet conditions , and the lack of grip round the corners

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

no way sigh...

Stuart Rutter, interviewed in the break

[Chili]

Julian Thew is OUT, pretty short all day. I was only there on the river where he clashed with fellow shortie Nik Persaud.

JQ for Julian
77 for Nik which hold.

Nik now on 44k
