The Olde Forge Report

Small Report from the game at the Old Forge last night. Craig couldnt make it, so Im not sure if I will get a full report as usual. Last night had 20 runners, and there are still people missing that would usually play here so I can only assume the numbers are going to get even bigger.

5 Places were paid.

1st €260 Niall O'Connor
2nd €160 Name Unknown (Split with Niall for €210 each)
3rd €100 Niall Callery
4th €70 Johnny Dunne
5th €50 Peter Doyle

Play was wild and the action was red hot on both tables as there was some very serious hands. On table 1, a newcomer (he was staying in the grand hotel and heard there was a game and came accoss) who was playing his 2nd hand woke up with aces. eventually there was a 3 way all in against Kings, and 7s where the aces held. Niall Higgins wasnt so fortunate as his aces were cracked on the river this time to Kings.

Ciaran Connolly a few hands in rivered quads for a big pot and seemed to be flopping sets every time he played. Just before the final table, Niall O'Connor hit a very good run of cards and nearly quadrupled his chips to set him up nicely for the final table.

On my table there were a few tight players and none as tight as Johnny Dunne!! I told Johnny last night I was putting a picture up on the Blog, to show everyone who he is....

All in All a very good game and as Ive said there should be higher numbers again next week.

Because the league is not going to run for as long, Craig has decided rather than UKIPT seats up for grabs he is going to send 3 people to the 888 poker deepstack in Galway in November. €30 is being taken from the pot each night and will be held behind until the final table, where the top 9 in the league will play off for the 3 tickets.
