Paddy Power Irish Open FINAL TABLE LIVE UPDATE

[Djinn]

I have to say, though, that having the full final played live, although there are differences from 'normal' (the speed of it, whatever the hole card cams' influence is) does give you a better idea of the actual betting patterns of the players, and knowing what happened immediately before a certain hand is great - it used to confuse the hell out of me when a smooth cut would reveal that a player who'd just been chip leader now had average chips - and you'd then see him play without the benefit of knowing whether he was bad beat, a bit of a muppet, or what.

I agree-I wish there would be more live tournaments like this-its great for fish like me to try and learn unlike thinking its cool to be like gus hanson and go in every 2nd hand with 10 7os. Also-theres nothing on the telly at this time of night anyway

You know, you must have had that thought at exactly the same time... uncanny.

And they're as even as James Bond's heart rate while he's standing in a queue for the supermarket checkout.

1,000,000 and a bit for all three.  This could go on a while.

Vincent Melinn bets on the board, and Ruane raises.  Melinn moves (with his other three, I think) and that's nice and quick.  Next hand.

Roy berates the bet that gets both the better hands off the pot.

is that not the point

Does anyone know if its against the tourny rules to make a chop at the final table-I presumed it was as is usually with these big tourny televised events but couldnt find anything in the game rules on paddypoker,

but its a heck of a difference between 1st and 2nd (170k) for what could be down to the turn of a card- would be especially sore if it was a bad beat like wongs that you lost that 170k

Also, ive just realised my keyboard doesnt have a euro symbol   are all keyboards like this??

Alt Gr + 4 should sort you out

(Alt Gr is usually the right hand alt key).

Night night GB... Writing about something I can't directly see reminds me of being behind the Press Curtain behind the stage behind the final tablists at last year's WSOP Main Event.  You'd think it would be better not to have to actually look at anything or run around, but it's easier to get confused.  On second thoughts, it could be the blonde updaters burning that candle at both ends, and in the middle too.

Was thinking along the same lines...

Can anyone clarify the rules?

It is compulsive viewing, but im worried I might start playing like that......... at least Gus Hanson is aggressive......... this is a complete mixture of everything..... Gus would destroy this table..

I like his small bet, he makes a bigger one, then one of them definately call, it looks like a value bet from a strong hand. I don't like the commentators being too critical until after the hand is finished. I'd just like it a little more if they present both sides of the arguement for a small/large bet.

Cheers for the Alt Gr + 4 (€) tip!

[Djinn]

We're getting the distinct impression that there have been no deals (and that it is discouraged).  Of course, there's absolutely no way to stop one player giving a little present to another player after they win, so when it comes down to it, we're unlikely to be aware of any business done on this one.

It also doesn't help that we can't just go and ask the players, Like at Luton!

I would say that having added €50k PP might be within their rights to prevent deals IMO
