2nd Break

58 players left.

Table rigged sees Blonde on Blonde action with Jen Mason check raising Snoopy off a T55 flop.

This table now has the Bolton brothers Daniel and Mark sat next to each other. Rigged lol.

Conor "Donkament specialist" Doyle has a massive 3k stack left.

Blind on Blind!

Conor Doyle and Anthony Bingham get it all in blind (well Anthony is all in for around 10k) preflop. Conor only had 18k.

J8 for Conor
K6 for Anthony

Board T7359 and Anthony is out in 58th.

5 Down!

Midway through level 4 we have lost 5 players. Owen Mullan was the latest victim, bottom two pair falling to Michael Trimby's top pair top kicker outdraw.

The corner of death.

A table has broken and a corner of death has formed on table 5.

Seat 1 Sean Gregory
Seat 2 David Colclough
Seat 3 Ludovic Lacay
Seat 4 Adam Smith

The table of death has Shane Harker, Jen Mason, Adam "Snoopy" Goulding, Daniel "ROONEY_DIVES" Bolton, Conor Doyle and Kevin Fitzpatrick seated at it.

The First Exit in Detail.

This is how you get 50,000 chips in at 25/50:

Folded around to Collie on the button who limps, Lukacs in the small blind makes it 300, Jaye in the big blind calls as does Collie.

Flop 456 and Lukacs bets 900. Jaye calls and Collie makes it 3,000.

Lukacs then makes it 15,000 which is called by Jaye.

Collie ships it and Lukacs calls. Jaye eventually folds top two and no runner runner sees Lukacs exit.

1st Break

Micky McCloskey is down to the felt after pushing on the river of a J52Q3 board and running into the JJ of Donal O'Connor.

Chris Hall from Blonde was the executioner of Vesty.

Conor Doyle down to 18k

Barny Boatman Doubles Up!


Barny Boatman quite liked the TT5 flop as he had 55 in his hand. Somehow Joe Jackson managed to get all his chips in with T2 and missed his outs to leave the Hendon mobster with a 95k stack. Joe has 1500 left after the hand.

Vesty Gone!

Well if Sylvester plays another 100 or so of our events he might win one at the rate he is moving up the placings :). Last year he was 1st out, this year 2nd. Another pair of Aces cracked, this time against a flopped set.

Player Gone!

17 minutes in and we have lost our first player.

The flop was 456 rainbow and Collie Studdard moves all his chips over the line after a bet by Lukacs Mihaly was already called by Jay Renehan. Lukacs called after a few moments dwelling, Jay took a lot longer before folding whilst a big crowd gathered around the table.

Colin had 78, Lukacs AA and the turn brought hope of a chop for the Hungarian but the Q on the river saw a 110k pot shipped to the Crossmaglen man.
