Old Forge Tuesday Night Results

Congratulations to Paddy Clarke, who took down last nights game and week 10 of the Fitz EOM tournie in The Old Forge Wicklow. Paddy and Ciaran Connolly decided to chop heads up, and Paddy took first as he had the bigger chip lead. Karl Larkin was 3rd, with Dan Bury 4th.

Last nights game was a scalp tournament, so Ciaran Connolly had an additional €30 as he had 6 scalps & Paddy Clarke had 4, who were the 2 biggest on the night.

Last night had 20 runners, again with some regulars who couldnt make it or didnt show, so as ive said before the numbers here are getting bigger and bigger. There are over 40 players on the league table.

Each week I am trying tp do something different, with a bounty on my head or free entry or with last nights game being a scalp game, so next week it will be different again.

A cash game got going later on with 7/8 players, which hasnt happened in a while!
Thanks to all players who came and hope to see you (most of you) next week.

Tuesday Night Poker

The first game to report is in the Olde Forge Wicklow Town tonight. Week 10 of the league continues tonight.

Kicking off at 8pm, reg from 7.30pm, €35 freezeout (25 plus 5 reg plus 5 scalp) Starting stack of 9k, early bird chip of 1000 for anyone in their seat by 8 and an extra 500 if you confirm by text 0868446556.

TONIGHT IS A SCALP TOURNAMENT! knock any player out to receive €5 scalp.

Consistently hits the 20 mark, and some new faces every week. Niall O'Connor currently leads the way in the league. Larry Dias won last weeks tournament with Johnny Dunne coming 2nd.

Updated league available tonight also.

Cash Game available afterwards,50c/€1 blinds, rake 5% once a flop is seen capped at €5 per pot.

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, with players losing what they cant afford!!

Good luck at the table Folks.

The Old Ship Monday Night Report

Well Done to Craig Ledwith who for the 2nd week in a row, took down Monday Nights game in the Old Ship Arklow. Not only did Craig get the win, but 40 Points for winning 2 in a row, which propels him up the league. Craig Called Larry Devereaux all in on a flop of 7,6,2 rainbow, when holding 6,5 off. Larry was ahead with 7,4, however craig hit a 5 on the turn and Larry blanked on the river to give craig the win. Unlucky Larry.

Karl Larkin was 3rd and Dariusz Denisiuk 4th. Last night had 11 runners, with a few regulars not able to make it so hopefully next week even bigger numbers.

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 over 50 players on the league table. €40 is taken from the pot each week to make the money for the 2 tickets.

I have updated league positions for this tournament and Reimo Reinpalu is leading with way.

This is a good game and usually always gets 2 full tables. As in 1 of my previous posts, I have taken over Chip & a Chair and will continue running the game the same way Craig did. Hope to see you all later.

Good Luck at the tables.
