Friday Night in Newtown
Congrats to Jason O'Brien & Geraldine Nolan who split pot for €250 each. 18 Players showed up and all buy-ins was paid out in prizefund.
Some Pictures of the action:
Dave had raised here for 20k and robert pushed for 44k!
Judging by the picture, a)either dave is being needled for not calling a further 24k or b) he is bluffing his pants off (judge yourself by the smile)or c) he is playing supertight
Finally, there is nothing worse than set over set. Lee's set of 2s beaten by Geraldine set of 7s, with a straight draw on the board. Lee was drawing to an 8 as Geraldine hot her set on the turn only for lee to hit his lower set on the river.
Thanks to clif for the pictures and small report.

Wednesday Report from Bray
Small report from Star Poker Bray:
Congratulations to Ciaran McGrath who won Wednesdays €20 freezeout for the second time in a row! He beat a field of 60 players, with top spot paying €360. Ciaran also won the poker jackpot to add an extra €150 to his winnings... and has qualified for a chance to win it again next week. Ciaran pushed all in and hit two pair on the flop against an open ended straight draw. A 3 on the river gave him a full house to win!

Wednesday Night
Tonight we have the €20 (15 plus 5 reg) freezeout tournament in Star Poker, Bray. Starts at 8.00pm and you can register up to the end of the first break at 9.30pm. Starting stack is 10k and the blinds are 15 minutes. Refreshments available throughout and free sambos at the break. Last few weeks there have been 50 plus, with 84 and 60 plus runners the last 2 weeks.
Cash games available when enough players are out, 25/50c blinds with a 10% rake after a flop is seen, capped at €3.
Star are usually good enough to send a report on these games, so hopefully We'l have some details of what happened before the weekend.
Finally, there is a new game I have been made aware of. It takes place in Sally O'Briens, Main Street Arklow. I believe it's currently in the middle of a league and again am awaiting confirmation of stacks/blinds and buy ins. I'll keep you posted

WSOP
I posted when the WSOP started and we are half way through already. The big news is that Phil Hellmuth has just won his 12th bracelet. (Hes going to have to change a lot of his gear as they all have PH11 on them!!!)
Phil Ivey & Todd Brunson have had 2nd Place finishes and I noticed today that John O'Shea is running deep and well in the latest Omaha tournament, best of luck John.
A lot of players seem to miss the first half of the WSOP and only travel for the later stages, for what reason I dont know, maybe its pure burn out playing every day from the start or maybe its the Bankroll, which is why a lot have staked themselves for the main event.
With poker you never know who will win, which is the best thing, so feel free to post who you think will win the WSOP Main Event. PH may not be a bad bet, but im going to stick my neck on the line and go with Daniel Negreanu!!
You can follow all the action if your interested at www.wsop.com
