Newtown Friday Night Results

14 players took part in the Friday night game in MKI. With quite a few regulars away, it was nice to see 2 new players at the game, namely Joe Grennan and Luke O 'Shea. Beginners luck struck for Joe when he chopped top prize with John Dalton each receiving €190. In third place was Jason O'Brien on €90, and 4th was Geraldine Nolan on €50. There was a lot of excitement surrounding the best hand of the night. Lee Lofts went all in with pocket 3's and Jason O'Brien called with A5 clubs. Lee hit a set on the flop, quads on the turn, while Jason had a straight flush draw with the 2 and 3 of clubs on the board. His only out was the 4 of clubs which duly arrived on the river...a great card for Jason, but a killer for Lee, so Jason gets a free buy in next week. Hard luck Lee.

Rathnew Friday Night Results

Congratulations to Peter Porter who took down last nights game in Rathnew. With 17 runners top prize paid €400, Dara Ronan was 2nd for €200, John Clarke 3rd for €120 & Eamonn Franey 4th for €80. Best and of the night was quad 4s for Damien O'Connor who called a raise with 4,2 out of position to flop a full house and turned quads.

Peter advised me things tightened up after the break and a big pot between himself & Niall O'Connor set him up nicely when he called Niall's all in and won holding Queens against Niall's Ace King.

Tuesday Night Poker

2 games tonight folks and 1st up its week 8 of the new Tuesday Night Old Forge Poker League.

This new league will run for 20/30 weeks with €40 being taken out of the pot each week, which will give €800/1200 to the pot.

JP McCann has his Mini WSOP in tallaght, usually around November and the main event is usually a €400 buy in. With the league for 30 weeks the top 3 players will be sent.

Tonight the buy in is €40 (35 plus 5 reg),freezeout, €15k starting stack, with a 1k early bird and 1k bonus chip for texting your entry to 0868446556. Registration is from 7.45, the game starts at 8 sharp. Blinds are 15 mins before and after the break with a 10 minute break after the 1st 6 levels. Hot food also served on the break (Pizza!)

The last time the league ran a final table was played for the top 10 with 4 Fitz EOM tickets being awarded, but this time there is a new structure to the league, where there wont be a playoff, just an outright winner, therefore the best players over the course of the league will win the tickets.

Niall O'Connor took down last weeks game and will be going for the 40 point bonus should he win 2 weeks in a row. Niall O'Connor & Dan Bury currently lead the way in the league.

And Finally,

Jacobs well Rathdrum, also have their usual game. 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.

Pot Limit cash game also runs when enough players are knocked out of the game.

Old Ship Arklow Monday Night Results

Congratulations to Zenonas for taking down last nights game in Arklow. With just 1 full table, Zenonas agreed to chop with last weeks runner up Kyle Byrne and play 1 hand heads up to decide who took the points.

Best hand of the night was a full house of Kings over Jacks for Zenonas.
