Old Forge Wicklow Tuesday Night Results

Congratulations to Dan Bury who won last nights game in The Old Forge Wicklow. Dan took the win and the 20 points to extend his lead at the top of the table by 39 points and almost guarantee himself a ticket for the JP main event.

Dan beat Eric Dempsey heads, when he called Erics all in, with Eric table King 9 on a King High flop, and Dan 2 spades and a flush draw. The flush duly arrived on the turn and gave dan the win.

I cant recall a best hand, maybe an Ace High flush, however there was Quad 10s on the board and 2 players chopped.

Thanks to all who came and hope to see you all next week.
