Irish Open: At a Glance

[Chili]

Cos seamed to be flowing and taking advantage of the bubble, with 10k here and there he bumped his stack up to 127k.

Then this happened:

Ben Roberts raised to 6k in middle position, Anthony Kennedy calls in the hijack, COS bumps it up form the bb to 16,900.

Ben passes and Kennedy insta calls Cos.

Flop:   its check by Kennedy, Cos bets out 10k, Kennedy goes all in for another 16k more.  Cos passed!!

Kennedy showed pocket eights for the set!

[Chili]

The bubble situation has been so bizarre and mental I'll try and explain it.

On Camel and Ste Kings table, Michael Odderskjer had passed for 2 hours and left himself with 1 BIG BLIND - 3K.

He CALLED all in with  even though he had another 5 hands until the blinds got to him.  Obviously the hand went 5 way and they all checked it down to the river.  Board was:

 

Ste King flipped his cards over and already shown that he had  for top pair.  The shortie now knows he is OUT but the TV wont let him leave because they wanted to set up the live feed. It must have been 10 MINUTES they made that poor bloke wait at the table. He hadn't actually  turned his hand over until he was told too after all that time. 

Upon showing his Q4 off, mouths dropped.  Pah, oh well.

Michael Odderskjer is the actual bubble boy.

[Chili]

Lastly from me, on the very last hand of the night.  Nik Persaud is involved in a mental triple up to now have cira 130,000.
I missed all the preflop action, I wish I had seen it:

On a flop of 

80 yr old Paddy Hicks bets 10k, Janne Neuvelainen went all in, Nik Persaud went all in too for about 40k & Paddy calls for about 70k.

On their backs:

Nik 
Paddy 
Janne   

So Janne second nuts and ahead, Paddy drawing to the nut flush and Persaud two pair.

Turn ........




RIVER..........

Paddy's side pot goes to Janne and Persaud a happpppy bunny!!


I'm off and goodnight until tomorrow!

Ste King, Liverpudlian Online MTT player

Mad Marty Wilson. Veteran Live player, established TV format TD for Matchroom

Jen Mason. Blonde shareholder, Black belt Poker employee. Great game, final tabled the Waterford festival that blonde ran.

Cos Paparestis. GreekStein. Might be a donk lol, but lets hope he goes deep! Not least for those of you with percentages

Anthony Kennedy. Walsall Live player. Railed all day yesterday by Mickey Wernick, interestingly enough

Ross Boatman. Described to his face yesterday by Maria (I'm tactful, me) Demetriou as "my third favourite mobster". Actor, Hendon Mob veteran, but a very solid record in big events too
