APAT Irish Amateur Championship - Live Update

[Des]

The rest of the remaining forum contingent are similarly short. 

JP"s is hanging in by fingernails at the moment as is Rita Galvin. 

Frank Bailie has 20k.

Valerie McGrath is best placed on 48k.

Frank pushes all in.

Call says Rita.  Hmmm, what could that mean.

Frank turns over pocket Nines and Rita the Aces.

Rita holds and more than doubles to over 30k.

Frank has a bowl of rice left.

Frank Bailie exits in 26th place in the very next hand.

[Des]

We lost somebody else at the same time as Frank, 24 left.

I believe our odd man out was Paul Gildea.  No hand details.

JP doubles up seat Eight, his Tens falling behind Ace Three, when an Ace hit the flop.

JP is short again, but he has been for long periods of the day and he seems comfortable with it.

[Des]

Barry O"Sullivan just out in 23rd on the feature table.



Meanwhile, James Ellis doubles on table 3, to approx 45k.

Ken McBride finds quad Queens to knock out Ed Roycroft in 21st.

Play has stopped with 34 minutes remaining on level 13.  20 players remain and they will be back at 2.30pm tomorrow to play down to an Irish Amateur Champion.

Unfortunately we lost JP in 22nd, at the same time as Ed Roycroft.  His pocket Sevens beaten by an Ace on the river.

The final chipcounts from day one will be published here when completed.

Nice one Des, so cruel. Good effort JP, but it just never looked like being your day.

I"m on Ken McBride"s team for Day 2 - until he gets his AA busted as usual. Then I"m supporting Rita Galvin, who I think has the game to go all the way in this.
