Village Green Card Club Mega Stack Saturday 15th November

I dont usually post about other games outside of Wicklow, but if im asked nicely or given a brown envelope I will!!! As its one of JP McCann's game I dont have a problem, as he runs a good game and the Village Green card club is a good venue. He always gets good numbers too and Larry Santo is now on board so he will bring some of his followers. Details as per the attached poster, if your around tomorrow, the game is kicking off at 3pm with a 10k gaurantee for a €120 buy in.

Starting stack of 10k, 15 min blinds and lately having been getting 70 plus runners (as busy as the wednesday Night game) with a very decent prizepool (Usually over €500 up top). Refreshments available throughout and hot food served at the break.

Cash tables run until late and usually have 2 going. 25/50c blinds. 10% rake once a flop is seen, capped at €3 per pot, again the 2 cash tables usually fill up fairly fast.
