Phil Hellmuth takes down the WSOPE main event for 1 Million Euros and a 13th WSOP bracelet.
I believe Doyle Brunson said it last year, maybe he will get the credit he deserves after his 12th win. If he didnt then, he surely should now!

Phil Hellmuth
I had to post this, because as much as he has his bad traits, moans, behaviour etc he is one hell of a poker player.

Friday Night Poker
Action for tonight is as follows:
Doyles Rathnew, starts at 8.00pm. Seems to be getting 2 tables consistently now. €20 buy in and a starting stack of 2.5k and a 20 min clock. You can rebuy/topup 3 times and if your gone before the break you can buy a deadstack and the 3 topups for €50. All money taken in on the night goes back out in the prizefund. Peter Porter has been keeping me informed of winners and pictures when he goes here. John Clarke and Harry Murphy split pot last week. This is the 3rd week of the Christmas roll over with €200 off the prizepool being held back. Play 7 out of the 12 weeks to qualify for the final night and your chance to win €1000, right before christmas.
The Kennedy inn, Newtown. Starts at 8.00pm, buy in is €20, with a €20 top up. early bird chip of 1k if your there before 8. Starting stack of 10k and a 20 min clock. The topup/rebuy is also for 10k. Usually gets 2 tables and the standard of play is very high, last week again had 2 tables.
Star Poker Bray, have their €25 (20 plus 5 reg) double chance tournie. Bust or be knocked out before the end of the first break at 9.30pm and you can rebuy for a further €25. Starts at 8.00pm and you can late reg up to 9.30pm. Starting stack of 10k, 15 min blinds and usually 30 plus runners. Refreshments available throughout and hot food served at the break. Think the number hit 30/40 here tonight.
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.
Also a game in Lynskeys of Arklow. Buy in €35 (30 plus 5 freezeout). run by the same guys that run the sally game on a wednesday DR Poker, Im not sure of the blinds/starting stack or number here. Starts at 8pm sharp and you can reg from 7.30pm. Early bird chip for players in their seats before the game starts and 500 bonus for players who confirm their entry by text 0868095286. Cash game available afterwards to.
Have a good weekend and good luck at the tables.

Cash Game
Just something to throw out there for all you cash Players. I was thinking of running a 1 table cash game providing there is 9 players of course! Minimum buy in €100 with a max of €300. The rake will be 5% once a flop is seen capped at €5, so there wont be too much taken out of the pot (50c for a €10 pot). Blinds will be €1/€2.
I know of a lot of players around Wicklow Town who prefer a cash game, so Comments here would be appreciated to see if this could be taken any further. The game itself would run for about 4/5 hours or until theres no money left!
cheers.
