Newtown Friday Night Results

There were 20 players on Friday night in Mountkennedy Inn. Neil Yeoman got a nice double up a few hands into the tourney, and never looked back. He hit cards all night, including a straight flush to the King, and ended up as winner. Jason O'Brien was second and Greg Gallagher was third. While a few regulars were absent, several new faces kept the numbers up, and we welcomed back our American shark and wit, the legendary Charles Wiedecker!!

Blinds are 15 minutes and you have a 10k starting stack. Refreshments available throughout and sambos served at the break (30 minute break from 9-9.30pm).

Also tonight see's the bigger cash game table kick off from 9pm. Minimum buy in is €200 and Im not sure if there is a cap to what the max is. I believe there is only 1 table tonight, to see how things go.

I also believe this is going to be a regular thing now with a bigger buy in, so well done to Star, I think a lot of cash players have been waiting for this!!

Good Luck at the tables!
