Irish Open: Interactive Thread

[Chili]

Jen Mason adds another 35k to her stack.  A chap made it 3,800 to play, Jen 3bets to 8,500, matey makes it 20k leaving only about 8k behind.

Jen does tank a little bit but eventually says CALL rather than all-in to put the guy all in.  They agree to get it all in pre-though and matey is gutted to see Jen's JACKS seeing as he has TENS.  No drama's as the board runs out.

Some local player news


Alan Trueick is the chip leader after taking A-Q versus Michael Murphy's J-J and seeing the sort of flop you quite like when racing overs v pair: A-A-5


The magnificently named Zsomber Gall was far from sombre, or galled, when he bust Peter Krikkay's K-K with 4-4 on a 10-4-2 board. Krikkay had raised in E-P and Zsomber called on the button


Peter Murphy (Irish, who'd have thought?) cracked the Aces of Samuel Lehtonen (Finnish, finished) with K-10 that turned two pair on an innocuous looking board

Chip leaders, assembled by various blogging teams comparing notes!


Alan Trueick: 181k

Marc McDonnell: 150k (crazy lunatic live player apparently, but capable says another source.Reputation for getting big stacks and blowing them)

Benjamin Juhasz: 145k

Nelius Foley: 135k (Online MTT player, successful) (Screen-name DanceoftheDead on PokerStars)

Rumit Somaiya: 130k

Keith Hawkins: 128k

James Mitchell: 122k

The price of poker has risen again:

[TightEnd]

Joey Lovelady and James Mitchell join the feature table with Andy Black


First hand up Mitchell raises the button, Lovelady short-stack ships the big blind with K-Q

Mitchell calls with K-K

Queen on the flop, but no further help and Mitchell goes from strength to strength

Thomas "TheBomber" Nolan, who seems to have a limitless capacity for drink is out K-J versus 10-10 and has decimated a big stack

I would criticise further but I am not sure how he got his nick-name. This therefore is a post with prudence and self preservation in mind.


Hard luck "The Bomber" (capital T and B)

Blonde Updates MTT on DTD starts at 10pm*.  $10 buy in. 

I'm in and had a late night last night, so easy chips for someone!!

If you don't already have a DTD account, use the banner over there >>>>>>

*Says 9pm, but the new time difference makes that a lie.  It's at 10pm...honest.

See you there!!!

NiK Persaud has moved to Cos's right.

Jonothan Butters is playing the long hard game - 24k

[TightEnd]

Michael Tureniec is moving into gear. The EPT and EPO runner up got into a pre-flop raising war with John Magill (10th WSOP Main 2006)

Each had about 30x bb and on their backs Tureniec had   and MacGill  

flop   . Something for everyone

Turn a conclusive   and Tureniec wins and moves to 80,000



As Maria said Nik Persuad is alongside Cos, Cos with 55,000 and over the tilty phase it seems


The Camel with 150,000+ (towers of blue 1,000 chips, twenty chips high make it a very orderly stack to count) has moved to a table two to the right of Rob Sherwood with 85,000

Michael Tureniec has busted in a 250,000 chip pot to make a new chip leader

Tureniec raised to 3,500 pre-flop

Called by Janne Nevaleinen in the big blind

flop  

Nevaleinen leads 7,500, called

turn    27,000 lead by Nevaleinen, called

River   and Jannes pushes his 100,000 remaining

Turnenic has 80,000 left so all-in to call, for what is a pot sized river shove

Five minutes later he calls and is shown   for the second nuts

Tureniec departs, and later tells interviewers he had top two A-K

Instant gratification.  Just hovered around Toby chatting about everything but poker then this happens:

Matey raises 4,100 in middle position, Toby insta makes it 12,000, matey insta goes all in and has Toby covered.  Toby insta called.

Toby  
Matey  

   ("always a sweat")

blank blank.

Toby doubles up to 105,000

Toby's opponent in the picture too.
