Tuesday Night Poker

The first game to report is in the Olde Forge Wicklow Town tonight. Week 7 of the league continues tonight.

Kicking off at 8pm, reg from 7.30pm, €30 freezeout (25 plus 5 reg) Starting stack of 8k, early bird chip of 1000 for anyone in their seat by 8 and an extra 500 if you confirm by text 0862423535. Craig will text players later.

Consistently hits the 20 mark, and some new faces every week. Niall O'Connor currently leads the way in the league. Scott Quinn beat Jason Cooper heads up last week.

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.

Pot Limit cash game also runs when enough players are knocked out of the game. I believe they agreed on pot limit as some nights the money on the table would be ridiculous.

Good luck at the table Folks.

Star Poker Sunday Night Results

Congratulations to Derek Verhoeven who beat a field of 43 players to win this Sunday's €20 Freezeout tournament. Derek limped with A8 and the big blind checked with 75 off. Derek called a bet on a 957 flop with a straight draw. A ten of clubs on the turn improved his straight draw and gave him the nut flush draw. Derek called a shove on the turn and made his flush on the river to take first place. Well done Derek. There was no winner of the Sunday poker jackpot so the money will roll over to next week

Star Poker Saturday Night Results

Congratulations to Brian Drennan, Pamela Finglas and Sheila Brock who made a three way chop this Saturday. This Saturday's €25 Re-Entry Tournament brought in 37 runners with top 5 being paid, first place taking €269. There was no winner of this Saturday's poker jackpot so the money will roll over to next week.

Monday Night Poker

One game to report tonight, and it happens in the Olde Ship, Arklow.
Its run by Craig Ledwith from Chip & Chair Poker.

Buyin: €30 Freezeout (€25+5 reg)

9k starting stack

1k early bird

500 extra chips for confirming by text (0862423535)

20 min clock for first 6 levels, 15 min for the remaining levels (inc antes, that increase with every level)

Complimentary food at the break for all players

Cash game runs also, 50c - €1 NLH with 5% rake and capped at €10, min buyin to cash game is €25

Tournament players are also part of a league for 2 UKIPT Cork tickets worth €770 each that takes place in February 2013. Top 9 players at the end of the league qualify for the final table and top 2 of final table win a ticket each. Players chipstacks are calculated based on the amount of points they accumulate throughout the league and there are already 40 players on the league table. €40 is taken from the pot each week to make the money for the 2 tickets.

Craig will probably give me details of the league tomorrow once updated. I believe Larry Devereaux went top recently, with Reimo Reinpalu 2nd.

This is a good game and usually always gets 2 full tables. Craig is a good tournament director/organiser as I have said before he runs a good game, with a good structure. The league itself has over 40 + players on the league table.

Good Luck at the tables.
