Congratulations to Derek Verhoeven who beat a field of 32 players to win Sunday's €20 Freezeout. Top 4 were paid with first place taking €216. Derek flopped top 2 pair on a Q J 6 board and pushed all in after his bet on the flop had been re-raised. He was called by J 10 and his 2 pair was good on the river. Well done Derek There was no winner of the Sunday poker jackpot so the money will roll over to next week.

Players chipstacks are calculated based on the amount of points they accumulate throughout the league. €30 is taken from the pot each week to make the money for the tickets.

This is being run by Craig Ledwith from Chip & Chair Poker and Ive played the tournament he runs in Arklow and the structure is excellent. Last week there was 15 plus runners, and a few of the regulars still havnt showed up so this tournament is going to get bigger. Nearly every week there is 3/4 new faces.

Finally, the Tuesday game in Jacobs Well, Rathdrum.

Each week they alternate between 2 games. 1 game is a €50 freezeout. starting stack is 62k (you are reading this correctly), blinds are 15/20 mins. no money kept behind all is paid out in prizefunds. starts at 8.30 and can run for a while with a stack this big!!

Their 2nd game is €30, with a €10 rebuy only for the first 3 levels. starting stack is not as big, i believe its around the 20k mark, and blinds are as above 15/20 mins

Im not making the above up!!!!! I confirmed it with Noel Jacob on Friday Night and he also advised they can get 2 tables.

Good luck at the table Folks.
