Newtown Friday Night

Small Report from Last night in Newtown, 15/16 runners. Winner was Geraldine Nolan, Runner up, Clifton Conyard, 3rd Dave, 4th Dominic Leech.

There was some big hands on the final table, Ritche from Roundwood, riased and was called by Dave. The flop was Queen high and Ritchie pushed with Kings only forDave to snap him off with a set of Queens. Geraldine Nolan raised and was called by Beaudine Brown, Dominic Leech in the Big Blind, reraised and both Geradline and Beaudine flat called. There was a Jack High flop. Dominic bets out, Geraldine folds and Beaudine pushes all in. Dominic tnks for a while before calling and shows Aces and is way ahead of Beaudines Kings. (Had Geraldine stayed in the hand she would have hit a straight as she held 6's).

Earlier on the final table Mark Taylor, pushed for 14k while the blinds were 500/1000 with Ace, 5 off and was called by Clifton and his Ace Queen to knock Mark out. (Dominic Leech made a crying fold here, with his favourite hand, 6,4 and would have made a straight flush)!!

Finally when they got to the bubble Robert "Bellagio Bob" Nolan, pushed utg for 20K with 7'7, it was folded around to Clifton in the Small blind who snaps with Aces, to bubble robert and give him a good chip lead going in 4 handed.

Geraldine nolan knocked Domicn Leech out in 4th for €50. Dominic pushed 7-8 big blinds into Geraldine and she called with King, Jack for it to hold.

Next hand Dave flat calls tHE 3k blind utg and Geraldine Nolan folds. Clifton raised another 10k on top with Queens and Dave calls. The flop comes Queen high, but 3 diamonds. Clifton bets out 17k 17k and Dave pushes all in. Clifton thinks for a while as he is afraid of the flush and calls with his set. Dave throws over Queen 10 off, with no diamonds and Dave goes out in 3rd for €80.

So Clifton & Geraldine went heads up, with clif having a 3-1 chip lead. Soon enough they were all in, Clifton held King, 10 and Geraldine Ace, 2. Geraldines Ace, 2 held and it was all even. Next hand Clif maybe on tilt a bit held Queen 3 of Diamonds only for Geraldine to have Queens so it left Clif crippled. He did battle back a bot and after 20 mins Geraldine finally won.

Clifton & Geraldine


1st Geraldine Nolan €230
2nd Clifton Conyard €150
3rd Dave €80
4 Dominic Leech €50

on a final note, one hand on the final table between Jason O'Brien and Robert Nolan, both players ended up all in with Ace Queen Diamonds against Ace Queen Hearts. Jason will curse his luck as Robert Rivered a heart to give him the flush!!!
